[CW] Activity

  David,

  I have tried to hear W1AW code practice on vhf, but I never hear anything. Do they have a way
  to send it to a FM only rig, like keying some kind of practice oscillator? I want to get back into
  CW, but need to practice a long time, as my ability to copy has dropped to about 20wpm. It is
  easier for me to log on to vhf than hf for ARRL xmsns.
