[Elecraft] RE: [QRP-L] CW Field Day operations in Northwest Oregon

[Kevin Rock]

I am trying to find a group where CW is not shunned.  The two nearby groups treat me like I am a leper when I mention the mode.  Often it is the end of any conversation.  

I am not sure where the myth of "CW operators are always welcome" got started because it is not true here.

I will contact the people in Eugene but it is about three hours away from me due to rivers and mountains.
