| + | Seems hard to believe we've come to the last class of the course, but here we are. Personally, I wasn't completely confident that I'd get to the point where I was able to transmit code, but there I was, pounding the brass when it was my turn to transmit to the class. Some people even copied what I sent! I think a lot of other people in the class have been pleasantly surprised that they' | ||

| + | Continuing to provide good advice, Mitch pointed out that there are sub-sections of the low end of each band, and you probably want to be selective when you're starting out on the air. | ||
| + | |||
| + | From B + .000 to B + .030 (where B represents the start of the band: 3.500, 7.000 or 14.000) there is a section inhabited by the speed demons. Probably not an ideal place for a green horn student to start out. | ||
| + | |||
| + | However, from B + .030 to B + .070 there is a calmer section that is slower, easier, and safer for inexperienced operators, and a great place to get your feet wet. (Hmm, don't want to do that - shock hazard) | ||
| + | |||
| + | It's also suggested that you listen to words as well as cipher groups. With words, you often get a sense of what's coming, and can more easily fill in any characters you miss based on the context. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Mike Cook suggested copying CW using squared graph paper, putting one letter in each square. Anything that makes it easier is bound to help, especially if xxxxx when your speed gets up and its difficult to write fast enough. | ||
| + | |||
| + | There was a concensus that we should move the weekday CW net to 28.505 MHz, to avoid birdies and other interference. Still 8 PM, and as part of the effort to mintain your CW activity, everyone should try to listen to, and join this net. You won't find a more accepting group, and all you need to know is the 6 (only 5 in my case) characters in your call sign to check in. | ||

| + | As the meeting, and the course drew to a close, Dave McCarter presented Mitch with a Certificate of appreciation signed by all the students in attendance. Lots of handshaking ensued, and the words "thank you" were heard repeatedly in Mitch' | ||

| Our first meeting on Thursday Jan 11, 2018 had a total of 22 people registered, although 5 didn't make it out to the first class. We saw a video that gave an overview of Morse Code, and visited the lab where we will be using the G4FON software on PCs, and listening to a central audio feed. | Our first meeting on Thursday Jan 11, 2018 had a total of 22 people registered, although 5 didn't make it out to the first class.
