Russ.....that KK7EH was KK7EHJ, was it not?? Sorry if I'm wrong.

@KI5GBQ 2 күн бұрын

Good catch. It definitely was KK7EHJ. There were several other signals close by it was kind of hard to make out everything. Thanks and 73 Russ

5:18: after OK OK, in the end, what u sent? Very strange symbol or word, smth like NUA. I think u didnt make spaces.

@KI5GBQ 2 күн бұрын

I sent the prosign “BK” but with little space between the two letters.

@Alexander-n2j 2 күн бұрын

@@KI5GBQ aaaa tnx! Its too hard to determine when ur opponent doesnt make spaces and binds all together. However as far as i know, such are BK, SK, AR, KN shouldnt contain spaces. So are wright, tnx again.

can pota activators use the memory function of the rig to call CQ?

@KI5GBQ 2 күн бұрын

I have not seen anything that would not allow the use of a memory keyer to call CQ.

How do you like the 6100? Is there any reason to get the 6200? I have the G90 and really enjoy it. Seems like you have a great radio. Nice activation. 73s

@rabidjackalope1319 10 күн бұрын

G90 is money, really good for a new ham looking to maximize their bucks. It seems like the 6100 is a mature product, but after the initial introduction of the 6200… haven’t seen much at all on it… which makes me hesitant to consider the 6200…

@KI5GBQ 9 күн бұрын

I have had the x6100 now for a couple years and have used it mostly for CW. It is a nice compact rig with a good tuner and I have had good luck with it. I have not had a x6200 and really haven't read or watched too much about it. But don't think I would get one since i have the 6100 and I have a few other CW QRP rigs that I would like to get/build first. Thanks and 73 Russ

Caught a many catfish from that lake when I was a kid back in the 70s. My favorite place was below the slipway. Do you have any recommendations for the hearing impaired to be able to work CW.

We used to catch saugeye and walleye by the spillway back when I was younger too. I know there are some computer programs that will decode and send CW but I am not familiar with them.

Hi. Learning CW. Slow but steady progress. How fast are you sending, and how long did it take you to get to that proficiency? Other than daily practice, what is one tip you would recommend to improve CW skills? Thanks, John KJ7OIB

@KI5GBQ 3 ай бұрын

Hey John I am running around 20 wpm. I started learning Morse code around June of 2022 and it took around 6 months before i felt like i could do an activation running about 15 wpm. The best thing i have done is just listen to code when I'm driving and try to head copy. Ninja Morse has a great collection of podcasts that i listen to when i am on the road. Good luck and hang in there. It is worth learning. 73 KI5GBQ Russ
