    Hi Fernando - welcome to QRQCW. I am very happy to see you here. There are a lot of great CW files from old nets that you can copy and increase your speed. Jerry K9JB and I are on 7.033 in the morning usually at 0700 and sometimes 0730 when conditions are not good. He is near Reno. We both use our bugs at somewhere around 43 WPM and have had keyboard QSO in the past in the 70 WPM range. We would sure be happy to hear you. Welcome to QRQCW and hope you enjoy it. 73, Bill N7YT
