There is an unspoken reality in the philosophy of CW which mandates that every participant has an obligation to make some small contribution to the growth of the hobby.  This is made obvious by the fact that whenever the number of participants is not increasing, it is otherwise decreasing through the SK effect.  The lifeblood of this pastime is new membership.  Without participants, we are ultimately confined to fisting messages to ourselves and eventually taking our paddles into the box with us rather than having our survivors sell them on eBay.  If you don't believe this, just listen in on the 30-meter band.

In other words, as you struggle hard to become proficient in Morse code, keep on saying over and over to yourself -  "If I do nothing to promote this hobby, I AM WASTING MY TIME HERE."

That being said, if you find this free website and the exercises in it to be useful, there's a way you can repay me for my effort and expense of publishing it.  Simply, share it!  And the best way to share it is to help it expand in the organic section of search engines by linking it to other websites.  Web crawlers can see these inter-website links and when they do, the organic function of a search engine moves the website further to the front with each link.

So if you believe that others can make use of this website and that it may benefit CW on the whole, kindly link it to whatever website that you may be running at the time.  Even an obscure link at the bottom of some back page will work if your website has nothing to do with CW or ham radio.  Every little bit helps to sustain Morse code. 

And by the way, if you like JLMC, it would probably be a good idea to make a small donation to help keep this website going also.  There is a donation link on the main page.
