Save Morse Code

[KC7VDA]

Hello All;
I like to tell my students that Ham Radio is a hobby with a thousand hobbys in it!
There is room in Ham radio for every mode of operation.
 As the bartender said "Pick yer pizen Gents" Ham radio is whatever you love to do.

Others may not be so lucky, but the hobby has SSSSsoooooooo many facets, there is room for everyone. However, I spent many hours on SSB working counties for USA-CA.........got the 59 also 59
