I has started with amateur radio in the early spring of 1988 with getting my class C license. In the later 2003, the harmonisation of the license classes has mutate my "C" to a "Class A" - and later to "Class 1" and so, i got the permission working on HF too, without a successful morse test. One of the very rare advantages of an EU-Membership.

in 2004, i started to learn Mosecode by using a PC-Programm called "CW-Player" that was developed by Gabriel, F6DQM. This is one of the best teaching System for selfstuding CW.  I can recommend them for beginners - even in 2023, it's flexible, versatile and free available. Thanks Gabriel...

CW is since that days, my favourite operation mode on HF. Actually, i am not often on the radio, because i am too busy.

QSL-Cards. I have stopped sending QSL cards at the beginning of covid19 and i had decide, that i will not restart them again. It's time consuming and i had found out, that the delay time to get a card back is not month, it need years oder decades to get them. So, i am upload my qso's to lotw and eQSL. This need minutes and saves resources.
