Ha, even after four years of learning, and getting on the air when I can, it's still hard for anything beyond POTA or SST for me. As much as the "get on the air message" message works for some, it bums me out that people don't seem to recognize that it doesn't work for everyone. everybody's brain works differently, and not everyone thrives in the trial-by-fire type of environment. Vband has been a nice almost get on the air for me, along with regular attendance of LICW classes (after completing CW Academy's first level class).

I should clarify that I really enjoy Howard and understand that it does work for a lot of people :-)

Ryan, I agree. "just get on the air" didn't help me at first either, but it continues to make more sense. There are a whack of tips in this series and perhaps one of the others will resonate with you. In creating these I've picked up on a half-dozen that have really made a difference for me. 73

That advice scares me.

Food for thought Jason: "Don't let perfection be the enemy of good enough" If you recognize the 26 letters, 10 numbers and 4 basic punctuation marks(. , ? /), you are ready enough to make mistakes on the air like the rest of us. Lemme know when you want to do one over Zoom - I'm here for you.
