RS-6 and code practice schedule

OK Bill - That's the RS-6. Still very usable and reliable, they occasionally show up for sale on EBay but they are getting rather expensive these days...They have a collectors following and some are on the air with Hams.
Code: Many say it is like riding a bicycle. Once you learn it, "re-acquiring" comes fairly easily with some practice. With your receiver, you might want to listen in to Ham station W1AW in Connecticut. They transmit practice CW sessions per the freqs/times in this link:

Have fun with it - a handy skill to have.....
