How many years have you been performing QRQ CW

I don't - need to work on speed

What speed do you like to run QRQ CW

Am currently at 30 to 40, depending on which way the wind is blowing, among other factors.

Your favorite key, paddle or bug

Begali Simplex

Your favorite cw keyboard

None

Your favorite cw sending software

None

Your Rig, Antenna and RF Power

KX3, dipoles and verticals, usually at 5 watts max out. Also have other rigs that will run up to 100 watts out that I plan to rely on more for QRQ...should I ever get there.

Your QSK preferences

It's OK as long as noise (QRM and QRN) isn't too bad.

Your favorite headphones or speakers for listening to cw

Usually just built in speakers, or sometimes random earbuds or Sony 7506

What has been your most effective way of training practice, to copy and send qrq cw

Haven't started...mostly just listen on the air. Have done some RUFZ in the past, but not seriously.
