I'm no novitiate (licensed in 1953), but the message isn't lost on me, either. When my current project is done, I hope to spend more time operating. I really enjoy CW with beginners and remember how patient other hams were with me when I started out, blazing long at (maybe) 4WPM. I'm trying to do a payback as time permits.
BTW, it 8¡ã here this morning!

Love it Kent. going to print it out and paste it on the wall at my operating position. Maybe put in a line that: ¡°Novitiates should work at least one Spark once a day¡±.
14? F here and holding so my 28.5 ft wire will have to suffice for the foreseeable future.
