Today, May 26th<\/sup>
\n2018, Received Electron, the monthly Radio magazine of VERON, and I read an interesting
\narticle from Joop, PA3JD about SKCC. After reading the article twice, I just
\nhad to visit the SKCC website, and after strolling around, I applied for
\nmembership.<\/p>\n

In the request
\nform you can leave your motivation in the field \u00a0– Comments \/ Why you want to join SKCC- and my
\nmotivation was:<\/p>\n

I am a fan of CW: Straight key, Bug and paddle, no PC.
\nWorking old Boat Anchor gear is fun; No display, filters, keyboard or computer
\nfor CW! Simply fingers and ears! My callsign suffix AM stand for \u201cAdrenalizing
\nMorsecode\u201d.<\/i><\/i><\/p>\n

Keys: Begali, Junkers, Bencher, Vibroplex Original
\nGold LH 2004, and Lightning Bug 1954.<\/i><\/p>\n

Already Member of:<\/i><\/p>\n

After applying
\nfor SKCC membership, and replying some mails and details I am on the SKCC
\nmembership roster with number: 18777.<\/p>\n

This same evening
\nI made my first SKCC QSO with Bernard F5DE who keyed me a warm welcome! Because I
\nwas logged in on the SKCC Sked page I saw the confirmation of the QSO and had
\nanother short keyboard-ragchew-chat with Bernard.<\/p>\n

I think I found another CW challenge, where I can work on my CW skills.<\/p>\n
