Hi Mike, welcome to the community forum. There is a lot to learn here. I’m 69 and still learning after 2 years with Justin. I wonder if you are an old school ham and had to learn Morse code. If so, you have developed a good ear for rhythm patterns. I’m not active in ham radio, since most of my activity was 50 years ago, but I can still hear DAH-di-DAH-di DAH-DAH-di-DAH and know that I am hearing CQ. Also your background in electronics and love of electronic gear can be further pursued with electric guitar and home recording :smiley:

Thank you for the encouragement!!! Twenty years ago when I first got my ticket…they had just gone to the no code technician. However they would still test you on cw & I did add cw to my initial license. I was never very proficient in code. Thanks again

I’m a CW-only guy on HF. I’m rusty from inactivity, but can still comfortably copy 20-25 wpm. At my best I could copy 40-45, but I’ll probably never get that back.

Hello Mike.

We are a supportive and encouraging group of students and guitarists from across the world. Essentially, we are all here for music and to improve as players. We truly are a ‘community’. Members help and support one another and a friendly, positive attitude underpins this. We hope that all - young or old, experienced or new players - adopt and foster the pay-it-forward ethos that Justin personifies and embedded all those years ago when he started the website and forum.
