Greetings. I'm delighted to announce that my new book, The CW Way of Life, is now available on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/CW-Way-Life-.../ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= I announced it on the LICW and SKCC sites two weeks back, and comments from readers have been almost embarrassing one called it "a modern-day seminal work on CW." Several have said they wished they had it when starting out. I half-jokingly sometimes say I wrote it in case reincarnation is a real thing, so I won't have to figure all this stuff out all over again This is not just a work of documentation – it is a research report – I was on a DXpedition to the roots of who we are and where we came from and how we got here, and where we’re going. And good news: I found some REALLY interesting stuff along the way. Quoting (ahem) myself, from the back cover of the book: “CWOL’s unique curriculum combines techniques dating back to the time of Morse with modern training principles to create a learning system like no other. The most important component is you! No computer needed! More than just a “how-to,” CWOL takes you on a deep dive into the history, theory, and practice of Morse. It reveals: - How your brain turns sensations into thoughts. - Morse’s true rhythmic nature - harmonics - not ratios! - How to ride the "dit train" to fluid keying. - The lost technologies of code talking and speed-keying. - The true cause and prevention of Glass Arm. - How to read and write Morse like music - on paper." This is for you. Enjoy! 73 Chris NW6V
Thanks Chris, for researching and writing the book, I just ordered it and am looking forward to reading it.....I learned code at the first ticket and just as the early flow got more natural, my house full of eight kids interrupted me too often....Now that they are grown and peace & quiet are common, I have started back into CW.....It's coming back like riding a bicycle, but my older brain makes it not as fast in relearning the flow....
