how many cw ops?

[K2MIJ]

I am both CW and Phone, I started out as a Code requirement Novice and was CW exclusively until I discovered QRP(p) SSB by accident and found out all the nonsense about QRP being a CW "only" mode was just that, nonsense!

Yes, I am a CW operator and love it!

 Although, I use only a straight key...I must be the only person on earth who just cannot coordinate his fingers with his brain! I just can't get the hang of paddles but I vow as my 2014 New Years resolution to master the paddles once and for all!

My prefered mode is CW with an elkey. It is not only fun, requires attention. It is relaxing, not taling about other advantages in QRP operation. Being an engineer I like digital modes from technical point of view, but do not like making QSO just pressing F1, F2, F2, F8 on my keyboard

So long live CW!

Now about 90% cw. I bought a KX3 back in June as I'd become really disenchanted with the awful operating standards of many QRO DX chasers and my time on air had declined to almost zero over the last 6 or 7 years. I've been astounded by how much DX I can work with just 5 or 10 Watts and delighted by the manners and courtesy of the QRP community.
FT-1000MP is gathering dust!

I've been QRP and CW since obtaining my Novice Ticket in 1979. I use the same CW Straight Key I had as a Novice!

Hello QRP fans,

Here also only QRP+CW+HF for all my entire amateur life (except some events). I don't know how to make a SSB QSO indeed (seriously) but it doesn't mean I'm a top notch operator, more like an average operator.
Lately I'm more inclined to mechanical generated morse code (straight key, cootie/sideswiper, bug).

I work also exclusively cw. Last times I went back to the calm pleasure of the vertical key.
happy new year!

I'm a CW operator for 90 % of my time and mostly QRP !

Have been a Ham since 1993 and love CW with my straight key  ( old German WW2 - Key ) , but I have a dozen of other keys as well !

Hope to cu on the air !

m0jha,
Here is my QRP / CW station, HW8 and 1940 bug,
set up for weak signal CW ops on 20M. 
This circuit has allowed me to pull out S1 CW signals.
