[AMRadio] Cw

[rocket scientist]

There are a lot of us OT's running old rigs with our straight keys.   I run either a DX40, DX35, HX10 or Eico 720 for tx with a variety of BA receivers -- all basket case rigs brought back to life.  You will always find someone at or above 7050 khz willing to chat.

A little off topic, but I have decided to run CW for a while and torment 
people with my left foot sending.  It is becomming very interesting. I am 
finding a lot of old guys like me are on 40 meters using streight keys and 
pounding along at 12 to 15 WPM.   The other interesting thing, and yes I 
fully understand DBs, is that I have reduced the IC703 from 10 wattts to 1 
Watt and still have no problem making contacts.   A far cry from the pair of 
833As in the Gates.     Bernie W8RPW
