EUCW Bulletins now on HF
From October 2025, the quarterly EuCW bulletins will be transmitted in CW on the amateur radio bands according to the procedures described below. The bulletins contain news from the EuCW member clubs and are intended for reception by all interested European stations. This is good reception practice (for both paper copies and head copies) for CW enthusiasts and learners of all skill levels. The bulletins can be QSP'd (forwarded verbatim) by all stations that receive them. If you are willing to help regularly with the transmissions, please contact the EUCW Chairman: at chairman(@-symbol)eucw.org.

LCWO.net - Learn Morse code online!
Fabian DJ1YFK's website, https://lcwo.net/, offers many opportunities to improve your telegraphy skills. If you enjoy competition, you can compete with other CW friends on various leaderboards or simply test and optimize your own performance. This portal went online in 2008 and now has over 125,000 registered users, so don't tell me there's no longer any interest in Morse code!
In addition to many local groups, there is also a Swiss group under the name:
Swiss CW Fans - HBCWF
Anyone interested is welcome and may register. There will then be opportunities within this group to exchange ideas in special forums or to list results only for this group. If you have any further questions on this topic, please feel free to contact me at hb9csa@uska.ch
