Steve,

Thank you for responding.

I do not currently have an H F rig.

I would like to be able to send CW via Echo Link or perhaps create sound 
files to email as attachments.
Thus, I could email assignments to my instructor.
It's all for fun!

Jim,

Are you looking for something to practice and learn CW via the pc?  Or
are you looking to interface  pc to radio to transmit?

A cw interface will key the radio in cw  through the key jack on the
radio and doesn't use the sound card.  Having said that, there is some
software out there that does  transmit cw via audio tones, but  that
isn't really the way to go unless you have an odd situation.
