Recently I decided after almost 19 years in ham radio I would finally do what it takes to become a CW operator. After about 10 days of re-learning the code and also spending a fair amount of time with sending practice using both my dad's old Radio Shack Straight Key (Ameco look alike) and my MFJ-564 using the practice feature on the Elecraft KX2, I made my first CW contact today with Steve WB2WIK in California.
Obviously KX2 was designed by people who love CW and the history of the Elecraft radios has been about really good CW rigs. In general I am still really impressed with how wonderful the CW signals sound, I am listening to K7M right now on 20 meters running in the 7QP, using the default 500Hz B/W and it just amazes me how good the signals sound on this tiny little rig. So I am not saying anything that anyone on this reflector doesn't already know but wanted to share my story and spread some praise. Keep it up Elecraft! ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
