[Elecraft] My First steps on CW

Hello fellow Elecrafters,

I was able to finish building my KX1 with your your help!  After spending
much more time off the air than I planned I think I'm ready to give CW a
try.  For more months than I would care to admit I have been learning CW
using lcwo, and my MFJ morse tutor.  It took me a while to get through all
40 lessons and I'm still not that great, copying about 80% with a character
rate of 13 wpm and an actual wpm of 5.  I still have trouble with 'F' for
what ever reason, maybe my 54yr old tin ears or rapidly advancing age or
both.

I understand on 40m a good frequency to get a patient ear is 7114.  Is there
a similar frequency on 20m?

So if you hear me out there I look forward to making my first CW contact.

Thanx in advance for your patience.

73, Ed
KE7HGA

Forgot to mention I live close to Baltimore MD
