I was invited to teach for them 6-months later in August. I teach Beginner-1 and Intermediate classes.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n In Beginner-1 I introduce the first 20 characters. My Intermediate class teaches the back-and-forth protocol used in a CW QSO. I have taught over 80 students through 6-classes and have just started a new class of 26 students.I love CW and enjoy talking about it!
