Youth CW Academy
The CWops club has added a new program to its popular CW Academy. For
young people between 11 and 19 years old, there is a Youth CW Academy
program focused on them. They learn in age-peer groups using the same
method from CWA. The key advantage is they learn with other kids and are
encouraged to get on HF CW and participate in contests and to ragchew
with their age peers. CWops conducted two pilot semesters of YCWA and it
works.
If you know someone in that age group who is interested in attaining CW
skills and on-air competence, have them go to the regular CWA signup
page: http://cwops.org/cwa-student-su.html
There is a field for indicating age under 20 and another field for
entering one's age. If the under-20 field is asserted ("yes" reply), the
application is automatically routed to YCWA for assignment. CWops is
working very hard to keep CW vibrant. In 7 years, the beginner,
intermediate and advanced courses have served over 5000 learners. Now,
we are focused on increasing the number of younger CW operators and
getting the increasing average age of hams to stop and begin going down
from its current 60+ years.
If you have any questions, email me (k6rb58@gmail.com).
