[Elecraft] Re: Improving your cw (was the international treaty thing)

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

I'm not much of a contester, but if you want to improve your CW
proficiency... including learning to relax a bit on the air... make some
field day contacts!=20

Now's your chance. No one really cares if you are sending upside down =
with
your left foot. All they want to do is figure out the exchange and get =
you
in their log. You get to "talk" to another station via CW, and it's a =
quick,
simple contact that you can be done with in a hurry, then take a deep =
breath
and go on if you want.

If you simply can't be understood in one contact - or miss the other =
guy's
data - no matter. You aren't trying for top score and lots of contacts =
get
lost in the scramble of QRM/QRN/QSB anyway. So you go on to the next =
one.=20

And I can guarantee you that every station with whom you are able to
complete an exchange will be grateful to count you in their log.
