[SOC] Please help

[charles]

I am a new member - so new that I cannot remember my number.

I must say that I was very impressed by the fellow on the bicycle and
quite amazed that he could be sending code while riding to that
standard.  Surely he is not a member of SOC. ???  Such ability would
surely disqualify him ?

I have tried my hardest not to become a member of FOC but it's not easy.
I've been trying to learn CW for nearly twelve years and I am now 74.75
years old so time is of the essence. Please advise.

Charles
