It was tough but rewarding to learn code -- I think I’m finally starting to get the hang of it! I doubt I’d have ever taken the time to learn the code if it hadn’t been necessary to get my license, but now it’s a big part of my life. So I think it's a shame that the FCC did away with the code requirement -- it's a decision that will cause a lot of new hams to miss out on the best part of the hobby. I enjoy outdoor activities and often take along a QRP rig and operate from some of the great locations we have here in New Mexico. But my favorite amateur radio activity is just ragchewing on CW. I’ve learned a lot about ham radio in general, and CW in particular, that way. The picture was taken during a trip to the Palisades area in the Sierras many years ago. Nothing to do with radio - just a nice picture.
