I would like to take a moment to express the importance of actually
enrolling in the LearnMorseKC course, instead of just listening and
lurking behind the scenes.
It is a given that
each individual learns in slightly different ways. While the overall
lessons should provide a good foundation to work from. That may not
always be sufficient for every individual.
As
the instructor, I will not ONLY be presenting the lessons over the
repeater 4 days per week, but I will also be monitoring as many over the
air practice sessions between classes that students have with each
other that I possibly can. This will allow me to monitor how everyone
is progressing and adjust the group's lesson plans accordingly, but it
also will allow me to offer custom suggestions and creative special
exercises tailored to the individual, often via email.
If
someone is not enrolled I will not be able to track their progress and
offer this kind of individualized custom assistance that often has made
all the difference in the past when I have taught morse code classes.
I
don't claim to be a magician or have any special superpowers. Millions
of people have learned morse code without my help, and millions more
will do so. If your choice is to learn on your own, I not only wish you
well, but enthusiastically cheer for you from afar. Anyone who learns
morse code is a great Ham Operator in my book.
On
the other hand, if the idea of receiving formal instruction with the
group over the repeater, as well as gaining some custom lessons as may
be appropriate in your case appeals to you. Please make sure you
enroll. I will do my best to help you.
To enroll, please send an email to:
Take it from a very wise man and CW operator, Bob Kimbrell, W0AO, who says:
"You are now starting on a great adventure. If you're not having fun, you're not doing it right."
I don't think anyone has ever said it better.
See everyone Monday evening on the Raytown Repeater!
Mark,
NRØR
