Hello From NJ

Post by DW2ND »

Just stopping in to introduce myself
Brand new ham who got his license over 4 years ago and just starting to use it now. Actually haven't even used my HF rig yet. it's giving me tons of problems on the one band I can use ssb (10m) on but I'll figure it out eventually. I'm really looking forward to learning Morse. I'll probably start looking for someone local looking to do the same and practice live. Hands on is best for me

Welcome Doug! It is a great time for 10m, and CW is a blast! There are lots of folks here who can help with troubleshooting.

Doug,
POTA Is a great way to develop CW skills. The exchange is simple and there are a lot of stations to work - and they are very forgiving of newer/slower stations. Also, I need to work a park in NJ!

If you get the opportunity to do a park in New Jersey check out the parks in North Western New Jersey. Jersey has some beautiful parks out there. Actually probably the nicest the state has to offer.
By the way my Morse is way better since my initial post. The practice feature on the Qcx has done wonders for me
