We've been listening to Sam for a few nights now Al and there has been quite
a discussion about it on the glowbugs list. Check out this link for an audio
recording I made of Yosemite Sam with my K2:

I was up in the novice band again tonight, calling CQ (with no answers). I
heard some weird signals.
The weirdest is on exactly 3700.00 LSB; exactly every 40 seconds, a recording
of Yosemite Sam saying, "Varmint, I'm-a gonna blow you to smithereens!!" Can
anyone else hear that?
But aside fro

Hey Bill,
Don't worry about being a little slow on CW. Just jump on in there. If

This is all great advice from everybody. Bill, I hope you do get on the air and

This brings up a very legitimate point. It used to be that the novice bands

The DB9 to serial port is not as simple as wiring it together. It
requires a dedicated USB chip and converter for use with DB9.
You can buy a ready made USB to DB9 but it still may not work with the

port.

Welcome to our particular form of madness :-)
QRP does not necessarily equate to slow code speed.
There are slow speed nets, at least I've seen them

Personally, I think your best bet is to just get on the

Are there any real slow nets for QRP that anyone knows of?

The fact that you don't hear anything diferent with the KNB2 turned
on doesn't mean it isn't working. It just means that the kind of
noise it is designed for isn't happening just then.

Availability is dependent upon firmware rev, but was implemented quite a
