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

[Chris Tate - N6WM]

Its pretty difficult to get more than 275 DXCC entities in the log unless you can work em with CW, particularly from Northern CA.  And many are marginal enough where the only useable decoder available is our remarkable ears and brains.

Thanks

In the 2014 ARRL Centennial QSO Party,  I encouraged a friend to start working CW again.   Without CW he wouldn't have been able to work all states.

For any of our CW challenged members.....

Hint: There's lots of DX on CW that might never get worked on phone!

Hello to all our local club leaders,

In the past the W6SFM Samuel F Morse Amateur Radio Club has asked for your help disseminating information regarding our CW class for beginners.  This is an all volunteer group of CW enthusiast that enjoy helping other fellow Ham Radio operators learn and enjoy Morse Code.   We would once again like to ask that you help us make this announcement to all of your members.

The SFM ARC would like to announce that we will once again be running our 10 week CW for beginners course.  This course will be 10 weeks long held once a week for 2 hours (7PM until 9PM) each Wednesday evening in Carmichael.  If your members or someone they know are interested in taking our CW class we encourage them to sign up NOW.  This class is made available to EVERYONE that wants to take it.  You do NOT need to be a licensed operator to join our class.  We have locked a start date of September 14th for the class!

Everyone can benefit from this course! For those with no Morse Code knowledge this is an excellent course where your members and their friends will be taught the complete International Morse Code alphabet, numbers, pro-signs, how to adjust and send on a Morse Code straight key and more interesting general information than one brain can store!  The goal of our course is to have all students up to speed around week 6, and on the air! This is also a great opportunity for those of your members who may have already taken our course before.  This class offers a chance for returning students to brush up on their code, increase their speed, build on-air confidence and get a better understanding of the 'pro-signs' that CW radio ops use on-air.

The CW class is $40 for new students, and only $20 for returning members who bring their previously supplied Morse Key and Oscillator.  As always, all our new students will receive a FREE Morse Code straight key and a Code Oscillator to keep at the completion of the course. These items are worth more than $40 by themselves.

This year the W6SFM hopes to once again announce a NEW American professionally hand crafted collectors key for purchase made available ONLY to W6SFM CW class students! This key will be produced by a well known key manufacture in the United States.  If your members or their friends are interested in signing up or need more information on this course, please be sure to have them send an email to admin at w6sfm.com<mailto:admin at w6sfm.com>. Please note that enrollment to this course is on a FIRST COME FIRST SERVE basis and we have LIMITED SEATING.  So they should contact us ASAP to make arrangements. Thank you and we hope to see you all in our next class!  73,

Michael
