    Default CW help and online pracitce?

    I am looking for a few CW websites that I can maybe download a few audio classes, and also something like CW communicator. A new ham and I would like to play on our computers with CW before we make a complete fool over the air waves and spell out eihgwl4 instead of something coherent.

    The audio classes i have found but I am specificly looking for one for a IPOD device for myself.

    The CW communicator seems to be the only one to play online, but no ones on.

    A better way is sitting down with a radio tuned to 7114 KHz on 40M in the evenings.
    You will hear real operators using slow speed CW in actual QSOs.
    This recently has been an "Elmer" freq where seasoned ops help new-to-CW ops out on the air.
    This is the real thing !

    It's Great to practice. Get familiar with the words and numbers. Trust me, and i'm not the only one. When you get on the air and answer that first cq call, or get your cq answered. The palms will be sweating, and the mistakes will be flying. First qso jitters are commonplace. Get on the air as quick as you can, get the jitters over with, and have fun. 7.114.00 is a very good freq to call slow cq's, you will get an answer at some point, and it could be someone else looking for that first qso. you can e-mail me holmeseric19@yahoo.com if you wanna set up a sked for some on air practice. 73'
