It means a lot and is very good news. The ICWC was formed with the following mission:

The International CW Council (ICWC) comprised of representatives from CW clubs world-wide, promotes and aids in the retention and growth of International Morse Code as a mode of communication between amateur radio operators.

Further, the goals of the ICWC are the following:

• Retention and growth of the use of International Morse Code as a mode of communication between amateur radio operators
• Promoting and publicizing the mentoring of prospective operators to learn International Morse Code and use it as a mode of communications
• Providing outreach to amateur radio operators, who use other modes, to explore using CW
• Publicizing and promoting the use of CW as a mode of communications to social media, amateur radio and other well-known organizations, by providing resource information for them
• Encouraging inter-CW Club cooperation and joint activities**

These very much align with the aims of 30 CW and so it is natural that we should join this umbrella organization. Whilst the ICWC is not for individual memberships, this occurs via the many CW clubs on the ICWC, it is a Council of all member clubs that strives to reach those goals.

With 30 CW membership of the Council this allows us to input the suggestions and represent the interest of our members and group within the Council alongside many other CW clubs, groups and organizations making up the ICWC.

The motto of ICWC is "Stronger Together" — so let's become that for the future of CW by joining 30 CW as a member and putting forward your concerns and interests here in the forum that can assist in shaping the way forward for joint CW club activities and policies.

For example, you might have concerns about something that is negatively affecting your 30m CW operation, whether it be local noise levels, intrusion of other modes, or fishing fleet pirates, or something about CW operations that cause confusion or friction, or have solutions to offer.

See some of the ICWC accomplishments here and list of member organizations here.

Whatever your interests, CW in general, QRP, QRO, DX, fun activities, propagation, home brew, CW keys, history, reference material, or anything else related to CW in general or 30m in particular, please share them here in the relevant forum (select Forums from the top menu), and you are encouraged to also add your profile.

If you would like set up your own editable page on 30CW.net (similar to QRZ) please do so by entering your CALLSIGN (CAPITALS PLEASE) in the "Create your page" box top right and then press the "Create your page" button. Please afterwards edit the Title of your page to be your CALLSIGN followed by your 30CW number in brackets e.g. AB1CD (30CW987). You can find your 30CW membership number here.
