The unpopular code became popular after CW was eliminated as a requirement
for ham radio. More and more are tuning into the radio bands. One of the
best places to learn code is Learn CW Online. Starting at your own pace, practice is available from very slow to extremely fast. While ARRL offers
code practice, neophytes might initially be distracted by QRM and QRN.
Venture online with a Software Defined Receiver to test your skills before transmitting.
When one is ready to venture onto the amateur radio bands, the Straight
Key Century Club has a slow speed event. Another opportunity for nets comes from the North American QRP CW Club. Read the information. Understanding
how a net works is important. Take your time. Enjoy the hobby. Don't
expect to go from zero to 40 words per minute in a day.
