Field Day will bring the single largest on-air event for ham radio operators in the US and Canada on the weekend of June 27th and 28th. It is a weekend for training, preparedness and practice for all hams - and for some CW operators it can be a little bit daunting. Free Field Day CW prep classes are being offered throughout the month by the Long Island CW Club, which hopes the sessions will put more confident CW operators into the mix.

The free sessions are open to all CW operators at all levels of proficiency, not just members of the LICW club. The sessions will explain ways to listen and send, common abbreviations used, the Field Day exchange itself and - perhaps just as importantly - how to operate with confidence.

The instructor-led sessions begin on the 1st of June and will be held live in the club's public Zoom meeting room.
