Fairly new ham here. Not much of a DXer, but would look in on a DX forum from time to time.

Most of my air time is CW. Just joined the SKCC group.

Congrats to you on new to ham radio and CW.

You’ll love SKCC, is very good for learning to use manual type keys.

I would also recommend Fists as they focus less on the key, use paddles mostly. Besides preservance of CW they focus on slower steady sending and good QSO protocol.

I like ham radio discussions here on FR occasionally, a good break from politics! :-)
