KICKER: WITH CW, IT'S NO SPEED? NO PROBLEM!
NEIL/ANCHOR: Our final story is a retelling of the old fable that
"slow and steady wins the race." For one Australian club, it's
especially true for fans of CW. Graham Kemp, VK4BB, picks up the
story....slowly.
GRAHAM: The Peel Amateur Radio Group believes there's no business
like Slow Business, especially when it comes to CW. The club,
based on Mandurah, Western Australia, has been on a mission to get
CW to flourish among its newest members and to rekindle the keyers
of oldtimers among them. They credit one member, Tony VK6DQ, with
leading the charge through his nighttime coaching sessions. The
club itself has already run a pair of Slow CW contests on 80
metres this year for members and nonmembers alike. The third
event, on Saturday September 18th, extends the competition
throughout all of the Oceania region.
It's actually not a competition at all. It's about being friendly
and.....Taking. Your. Time. In fact, downloadable guidelines on
the club's website tell readers [quote] "You'll make mistakes and
you'll hear others making mistakes while they're learning too --
relax, have fun and don't sweat the small stuff!" [endquote]
It's not that the club is in any big rush to find slow senders --
but members DO want to encourage the slowest of the slow to get in
on the action. In fact, members David Millett, VK6FAAZ, and Mark
Bosma, VK2KI/VK6QI, have written in a Facebook post: [quote]
"Please give it a go, no matter how bad you think you are, it's
all about having a go and having some fun." [endquote]
For Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Graham Kemp, VK4BB.
