[Mldxcc] Fw: W6SFM CW Beginners Class Announcement (Please distribute to your members)

[Alan Maenchen]

For those who don't know, there is a significant interest from non-CW hams
who want to learn CW.
I'm glad to see other groups like SFM taking on the task.


The CWops club also offers CW classes in their CW Academy
http://www.cwops.org/cwacademy.html

Classes are offered four times a year. Note that signups have been
overwhelming the staff such that the next available class isn't until April
2017  !!

I recently finished advising a Level 1 class that brought students from
zero to being able to do an on-the-air QSO in only eight weeks. Classes are
held via Skype twice a week with whatever time schedule is available to the
advisor and students. Class size is limited to 6 or 8 students. Students
study and practice on their own. The "classes" are not actual teaching
classes, but rather time that students can do some practice together and
ask questions with the advisor.

If you want to help get new CW operators on the air, please consider
becoming an advisor:
