Field Day CW Classes – Open to the public
The Long Island CW Club (LICW) is pleased to offer focused Field Day CW training during the month of June. These sessions are open to all amateur radio operators. You do not need to be a member of LICW to attend, and there is no charge for the training. All training is conducted over Zoom.
Spanish-language sessions are available. / Hay clases disponibles en español.
These classes will focus on the practical CW skills needed for Field Day operation, including the Field Day exchange, operating rhythm, common abbreviations, listening, sending, recovery, and confidence-building in a real operating context.

What Makes LICW Different
Members often tell us that LICW feels different from other clubs and organizations they have experienced. That difference is not accidental.
Many people come to Morse code carrying years of frustration, false starts, or the quiet fear that everyone else hears code more easily than they do. LICW was built to change that feeling.
Here, students are warmly welcomed, patiently encouraged, and helped forward at their own pace. Mistakes are normal. Recovery is part of the skill. You do not have to be fast, fluent, or confident to begin. No one has to prove they belong before they are allowed to learn.
The LICW Culture Guide explains the spirit behind our club: patient instruction, practical help, respect for every student, and a shared goal of helping more people enjoy CW and get on the air.

Our classes are structured to get students on the air using CW and we teach towards the QSO. Here is a video of a typical moment in one of our QSO classes with member Josh KI6NAZ (of Ham Radio Crash Course) successfully making his first CW contact. Our students will be able to QSO usually within 3 months of taking our classes.
