The main CW document on Jacks web page might be missed.  There are buttons
on the bottom of the main page.  You want the button that says "Morse Code"
or click on
   http://www.w0uce.net/Morsecode.html

There is also a PDF of some of the class material as a link on the Morse
Code page.

Jack's classes are conducted interactively over the internet using ooVoo
video conferencing, which is a free application.

To sign up for Jack's classes you need to go through CW Academy and ask to
be assigned to W0UCE.

73, Guy.
