2024 ARRL Straight Key Night
New Years Day I had a nice contact and conversation on Morse code CW on the 40 Meter (7 MHz) band with a Ham operator call sign W1WCC. He was operating vintage radio equipment TX Drake T4XB RX Collins 75S3C Ant Dipole at 90'at the Marconi historical wireless radio site out a Cape Cod MA. This was the site of the original historical Marconi Wireless Radio site of the famous station WCC.
Below is a picture of my station A TX E.F. Johnson Ranger 2 RX Collins 75A4 Ant two half waves in phase fed with open wire line. Key is my E.F. Johnson Speed-X with navy knob I purchased in 1965 from World Radio Labs with money saved from my paper route.
