Welcome back.

Welcome to the Club / Welcome to all

It makes me very happy noticing that this forum is acquiring new life.
Welcome to all the new members and returning ones.
I’m an only CW operator, 90% QRP. The other 10% percent of the times, I cracnck it to 75 watts for specific missions.
My main rig is a TenTec Eagle, but I take my HW-9 for field ops and my Mountaintopper 4 for POTA activations.
I have a small number of keys, but mostly use a Vibroplex Brass Racer, a Speed X bug or a regular non-descript straight key.
73 to all.

Transceivers / Re: QRP Xcvrs

Don't forget the Elecraft K2(10W) transceiver. That is my principal rig these days. Except when I run the IC-7200 at 5 watts. I had a TS-120V and 130V ten-watter radios. Lovely rigs now gone.

30 meters was my favorite band from day-one. Had a nice antenna back then. Not now.

Telegraphy / Re: how many cw ops?

« Last post by f8wbd on February 16, 2022, 17:50:07 UTC »

With over 40 years as an amateur, I believe that I may have, possibly, 3 or 4 hours with a mic in hand. Only to test the transceiver. So I guess I qualify as 100 percent cw.

Greetings from the Brittany coast. Still active though less time on-the-air these days. Very old QRP rigs have bit the dust over the years. Now down to a K2(10W). As I don't care for small transceivers, I use my IC-7200 at 5 to 10 watts. CW with old straight keys. Antenna EFHW Par. On 20 meters between 14.050 and 14,060 mHz. 72/73 de Dick F8WBD
