[CW] "THE SECRETS OF CW" by Frank Merritt, VE7FPM

[ROBERT DOHERTY]

We have found that one some one says ...


" It is too hard "   


What they really mean is that it will take too long    .... the problem is that they lack the commitment ..


...... this is 99% of the time .... 


Was anything you got easily ever worth very much ?

Almost any modern transceiver has a built-in keyer. If you're using an old rig without an internal CW keyer, you can build an inexpensive external one very easily: http://www.hamgadgets.com/ULTRA-PICOKEYER.
