Roughly how many ON-AIR CW QSOs do you have each week? (This includes all non-contest QSOs such as POTA, SOTA, SKCC, SST, ragchews, etc.)

Tell us about your current CW ON-AIR activity (brief exchanges, contest, ragchews, # of days/week, etc.)?

Your estimated current copy speed for non-contest QSOs?

Do you head copy QSOs?

What issues are you having with CW?

Do you currently practice your CW skills?

What method(s) do you use and how often do you practice?

This course requires training an hour per day (6 days / week). Up to 20 minutes of ON-AIR time can count toward that. Are you willing to commit to that training?

You will pair with a code buddy in the class, with the expectation you will practice with that person twice weekly (this will count as practice time). Are you OK with that activity?

What is the class of your current license, whether it was issued by the FCC or another authority in your home country?

Describe the equipment used for your on-air CW activity. Include rig, antenna(s), power, and base or portable operation.

Please tell us about your short-term and long-term CW goals.

What has inspired you to make the extra effort now to improve your proficiency in CW?
