    Learning CW…

    I am 100% on of those guys that said I was never gonna learn code. I’ve tried the portable code players in the past, used some very basic online tools, and it all went in one ear and out the other. Now that I don’t *need* to pass a code test to get a license, I found myself poking around on...
