Like Riding a Bike

Isn't that what they say?  Getting back to CW and making contacts.   The flow is starting to come back to me a bit and I'm able to copy pretty reliably but it will still take a lot of practice to be able to copy some of the faster CW from DX.   

Never was a rag-chew operator so if the CW gets into detailed stories and dialog I just get swamped, but the key things (pun not intended) will stick out well and I'll copy that.

30 meters has just been brilliant for a long time, and the stations that work CW there have been relatively strong too.

I'm reading more and more about amateurs who are eschewing the QRO station power and going QRP with great results.   That's a multiple benefit situation since it takes less power and equipment to operate with the after-burner 3-500Z.  If I can swing bare-foot, that would be great!
