  • Episode #5 - CW Immersion

    In Episode #5 we talk with Chris Bravo, W4ALF, who was first licensed in 2014.

    In 2015 he decided to learn Morse code. He pulled out all the stops and took a deep dive approach to learning the code and developing his CW skills. Chris' 'full-immersion' process utilized a comprehensive list of Morse code and CW learning resources he used and later compiled into a free book, "The Road to CW" (links to a free copy are available on the DitDit Resource page). After mastering the code in a relatively short period of time, Chris accomplished some pretty amazing things. Kudos to Chris, W4ALF, for being an excellent example for anyone interested in learning the code and showing us what's possible when you set a goal! Hosted by Bruce Pea N9WKE.
