[Elecraft] [KX1] "It's alive," sort of!

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

That's great to hear. After more than 50 years of pounding brass, I enjoy
setting the bug aside and using my J-38 'hand pump' from time to time
whenever I run into a slow operator.

I haven't tried it myself, but I understand NUMORSE is similar to Morse
Mania but runs on a PC under Windows:

Don't worry about that. I am as rusty as the Titanic with my code. In all
instances of my cw QSOs, I have had much better/faster ops slow down and
work with me to ensure a solid QSO.

The more you use it the easier it gets and the more fun you have. I also
started using a program called Morse Mania by Black Cat Systems (it's Mac
based software) to get up to speed. I chose the Koch the method. I'm sure
there is some PC equivalent.

My K3 can be set to test TX or 0 watts and I can key w/o actually tx-ing for
practice too, I don't know about your K1.

Pound away!
