Glad to hear about the N Guage RR! Yes, you can build an empire RR with a small sheet of plywood but yes,
it's hard on our aging eyes, hi. FB on the trolley excursion. Good u have a pal like Mike!
If I find some N Guage stock at the antique (junque) stores I'll mail it too you free as a gift.
I at one time had 30 odd pieces of N including 2 or 3 Chessie and CSX engines.
Never got to have a layout and lost all in moves. Later got hired by Conrail as an Loco Elctrician at Buckeye Yard here in Columbus.
I work for CSX now at Parsons Yd. Buckeye is an NS yard which is mostly shuttered. The fueling/servicing station
where I worked is long gone. Busy 3 hrs 7 nites a week overtime running intermodal trains. I make sure the engines are inspected,
repaired if need be and ready to pull freight. A kid's dream come true career. Pulled us outta poverty in '99.
Have 5 yrs to go til retirement. 73 fer now...  lane  de n8aft ..

Howdy!!!! Heard about your site via listening to a 2M repeater QSO and Dave, WV8DH, told about your site. So, I've checked it out.
You have a lot a good patience to do what you are doing as long as you have, but it certainly pays off.
BTW, Sporadic E should be coming for winter season. Are you active in 12M, 10M, and 6M, QRP QSO's? Passing thought.
73, and I hope to catch you on the bands one day.

I have been trying to learn CW off and on for about two years now, I improve a little each week. I have been using LCWO, I have my
settings at 20 wpm with actual speed set at 5 wpm. CW has always been something that I have always wanted to learn. I am not the sharpest
knife in the kitchen. I did not think I could pass the Tech exam, but I did, did not think I could pass the General exam, but I did, did
not think I was able to pass the Amateur Extra exam, but I did. Now When I can learn to copy at 15 to 18 wpm I then can say I am a Ham
Radio operator. Thank you all that promote Cw operation, and the kind support all CW operators have given me in my journey. So if you here
me on the air struggling along, you can just grin and know it is the guy that said he could not, but he keeps trying, and know some day I
will become a Ham Radio operator. --... ...--

Fantastic site! After about 20 yrs away from amateur radio I'm going to jump back in. My proudest moments are when I made CW QSO's. Those
QSL cards are treasures now. I used Code Quick to learn CW and was able to pass the 13 WPM test. I'm brushing up now. It's coming back,
but nowhere close to where I was before dropping out. 73

John: Have been an NAQCC member for some time. Mostly I participate in the FRN nets here on the West Coast. About 6 months ago I took the
plunge and got an Elecraft KX3 / PX3 combo. Boy, am I glad I did. Boatloads of fun, fun, fun.. Best rig I have ever owned. At any rate, I
wanted to let you know that I thoroughly enjoyed reading your KX3 review this afternoon. Until reading that article, I had forgotten the
rig would do dual watch. Since I do most of my ham work of late with various Nets (big surprise given the dismal sunspot situation of
late) its not surprising that I forgot all about that feature. Your comments regarding the usefulness of the PX3 to scan the band for
signals is spot on. I think the PX3 is probably the best tool I have to do this. My IC-7600 is a great QRO radio, but I prefer the PX3 for
that function. The only improvement I would recommend is that Elecraft put a few more text lines at the bottom. It would make it a bit
easier to keep track of things during busy times . I am thinking about getting the companion amp the KXPA100 just because I may want to
work some DX with this little rig. I use the on-board paddle with mine and I have the KX3/PX3 sitting on the knock down North Georgia QRP
Club's wooden stand. Great little item. It holds everything in just the right location, and is ultra-portable to boot. Take care, John.
Your website is awesome! 73's de Charles, KW6G

Met a ham onboard who was running a Heath HW-101. At his insistance I ran a cw class for 6 shipmates that were going for novice.

SKCC but not FISTS - need to do that! Built my KX-3 in 2015 and like you, LOVE it! I also am heavily involved in vhf/uhf local nets
and ARES/RACES work. Favorite antennas - Wires and Windoms and my MFJ Big Ears! Anyway, thanks again for an excellent website, John.

Hi, I really enjoy your website. Your commitment to QRP motivates me to get back to it. When I first returned to ham radio in Jan '16 after
abt 40 year layoff I only worked QRP. My only rig was an ft-817 for a good while. Now I also have an FTDX-1200 and while I really enjoy it
I miss the fun and challenge of being completely QRP. I am completely CW only and am a member of CW OPS and a graduate of CW academy
levels 2 and 3. It's a great group. Thanks for promoting CW QRP! Hope to QSO sometime! 73

Good afternoon. Visiting interesting sites. Wannabe QRP nut. Also have a very bad case of put
offitis. Plenty of QRP rigs on the operating bench. biggest need to finally get a working antenna.
I have VHF/UHF hand helds. On the QRP / HF side of the shack. KX-3, KX-2, IC-703 and a LNR 11 band
rig. Rounding out the radios is an FT-817. Mike WN5PMR with 52 years of ham radio under my belt.

I am glad that I found your site and the information about CW procedures is extremely valuable for
me..As yet, I am not on the air yet as I just in the beginning stages of setting up the
shack and dealing with  antennas and their placement...I’m 72 years old, and looking forward to my
first QSO...but I don’t want to go on the air without a good idea of the proper procedures. I was
a Navy radioman who never used CW once I got out of radio school...MY CW QSO is pretty high on my
bucket list....Thnks for the info.   Dennis. KN4KTT

I have been learning CW for the past year, sending at 20
wpm using paddles, But to be honest with my self I can only copy at around 10 WPM and even at that
I get lost. I have checked in to some phone nets using CW and most were able to copy and reply
back using voice. Still try to spend an hour a day copying and slowly making progress. I do enjoy
CW. And for me anyway all the computer/armature radio combined together is not for me, I guess you
could say I am a purest --...  ...--   -.- . -.  .-.-.-

I enjoy QRP/CW and am happy to have found the NAQCC (#6132) a few years back. Thank you for your
dedication to our hobby and promoting CW.  Our local club consists mostly of the VHF group and
only a couple interested in CW.  I try to convince them but they're barely interested in HF, let
alone CW.  Take care and keep the streak going...it's quite an accomplishment.  You'll probably be
in "The Guinness Book of World Records" someday. 73, Ron NX8Y
