QRP Truly rewarding. A bit hard to do, but when you get great QSO's, this makes it a worthwhile effort. My FT-817 is a very good receiver, and I had good reports on my signal. I used a Heil HM-4 microphone and 1/4 wave ground mounted vertical on 20 met... Read More

My CW skills have always sucked, mostly because I don't put the effort into improving them. 10-15 WPM is a stretch for me. In order not to feel like a total loser for relying on CWget to enable copy during a contest, I decided to try an 83 QSO clean sw... Read More

My daughter recently moved to Omaha. I remembered that NE was often a troublesome section to find so with her permission I set up there for the 2015 CW sweepstakes. The antenna is a Field Day variety push-up mast with wire dipoles, not terrific but e... Read More
