Why stop at a technician license? CW (aka Morse Code) isn't a requirement like it was in my day, so I encourage folks to go all the way to Extra. The question pools are available and the actual material isn't too difficult to master since there are no labs or practical exams. (Plus code is more enjoyable to learn without the added pressure of the tests.)

I wouldn't recommend stopping there, but it's fine for starting. I haven't moved forward since I'm barely using my tech license and have too many hobbies anyway. :)

I'm really pretty interested in learning CW, but haven't been able to dedicate time to it yet. I'm not even quite certain how to pick any up. Most of the time I go looking, I don't hear anything (I've only got 2m/6m/70cm equipment, though).
