Every Tuesday evening starting again January 12th, 2010 after the SARC Net on the Club's VHF repeater on or shortly after 20:30 local time for about 20 minutes Gary, VE7AS will send MCW [CW in the FM mode] for the purpose of earning your CW endorsement for your license or just for practice. Code started in November with learning the characters, numbers and pro-signs, and will continue in the New Year with 5wpm practice and carry on weekly until we reach 22 wpm. Then Gary will start all over again in the Spring through to the Fall with the same program for new Hams graduating from Spring courses.
Transmitting testing can be done on a personal basis with Official Examiners John Brodie VA7XB or Gary Skett VE7AS by having an on-air QSO of 3 to 5 minutes of CW on any band available to the participant with ZERO errors during a standard QSO exchanging the necessary station and signal report and a short conversation with them.
