[Corkradioclub] May Meeting

[Timothy McKnight]

Hi Jeremy,

Regarding CW Field Day, how can those of us not up with their code skills
help?  I certainly want to be able to send and receive CW at speed, but I'm
not there yet.  Is there anything for me to do other than help erect
antennas and then sit around for the weekend?  I'm sure I'd learn a lot just
by watching others operate, but that's going to be a tricky weekend for me
to get a free pass for--so it may be better for me to wait until an event at
which I can actually operate.
