[CW] Radio without antennas

[Fred Adsit]

Interesting system. Just spent an hour studying the details. Not sure how to 
use a code key to operate. A large part of my interest in CW is keying, and 
only using a keyboard for QRQ. Thanks for the info. I will think about it. I 
found some old friends in the membership listings, so that gives me a major 
incentive.

The Shards of 80 thread rang a bell with me. There is a system on line for 
ham radio simulation called QSO Net.

I use it nearly everyday to talk with friends who no longer have antennas 
and some who are using it as an alternative to lousy band conditions.

It allows for CW, digital, or voice communications.

Here is a link: http://www.qsonet.com/index.html

The system requires you to be a licensed ham and prove it, before you can 
transmit or even listen.

Sure, it isn't "real" radio - but it sure beats watching the TV every 
evening or whining about no antennas on this list. Try it, you might like 
it, many others sure do.
