This is a podcast to assist amateur radio operators to work on learning Morse code, or increasing the speed at which they can copy Morse code.
The Legend of Straight Key Century Club:
Have you ever wished that Straight Key Night would go on and on and on?
Have you ever wished for other incentives to dig out your old straight key or old bug and knock the dust off?
Ever wished they had a Straight Key Night more than once a year?
That is a light you see at the end of the tunnel!! Recently, a group of hams have decided to make their wishes come true and founded the Straight Key Century Club - a/k/a "SKCC". Yep, a Straight Key club - where you can dust off your straight key or old bug, and get on the air and torture other ops with your straight key fist .
Here's how it will work:
A) Open to any interested amateur B) Membership is free, there are no dues and it shall stay that way as long as practical. C) SKCC numbers are issued for life. Once you get it, it's yours. Take care of it. Above all, USE it.
The first day of each month, at 0000Z will be designated as a monthly operating event that allows SKCC members or non-SKCC members to work each other on the air, although you may work each other for credit at any time.
The SKCC is not intended as a once a month only operating event, but rather we promote daily operating as well. It is all about the magic and fun and fellowship of amateur radio and the traditional use of Morse code. Contact with 100 SKCC members will qualify that person for a certificate of accomplishment.
