Hello Dave and thanks for your interest in learning and improving CW.  CW is like learning another language, and an excellent skill.  

Having a local partner to practice with is a great idea.  If no one comes forth, I highly recommend the Long Island CW Club.  Don’t let the name fool you, they have over 5K members in all states and over 60 countries.  LICW club sponsors a variety of free interactive classes for all abilities.  I believe they are now up to over 150 classes per week.  Please check them out at:  https://longislandcwclub.org/.  I know several of the members; they are very welcoming and will make you feel right at home.

73,
Rusty - W3US

Im new to ham, have gen lic.  I want to become sufficiently proficient on cw to  not embarrass myself.  I am using the LCWO Koch method.  I have a moreserino-32 to practice xmit.  I think I can xmit at 10wpm.  Receiving is ok for about 20-30 sec, then I start to implode
 
We have a number of new members recently passing, and maybe some pros who want to get back into cw.
 
I would like to hook up with someone interested in learning cw, is a novice like myself.  I don’t know how yet, but possibly figure out how we can practice on each other
