John,  We are home now.  Just wanted to thank you again for your hospitality.  
We enjoyed our visit with you yesterday very much, indeed!!!!  I will get back 
to you after I do some research on the possibility of the preservation of QSL 
cards marking notable amateur radio accomplishments, specifically related to QRP-CW-SWA, 
more specifically your DXCC QSL cards.  I will be talking to Bob Allison at the ARRL
and to K8CX who collects QSL cards for historic preservation.  I’ll get my 
eyeball QSL card in the mail soon!  72, Gene AA8MI & Judy XYL

Hello John. Just a note to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. 
I still read your diary entries every evening and find them very interesting. 
I hope 2020 brings you less noise and many more QRP QSO's. Take care in Kittaning.

Hi, your streak always gives me a bit of motivation to continue to work QRP. 
CW is my mode of choice.  My hope is to start a chapter of NAQCC in Eastern NC.  
That's my new years resolution for 2020!!

Had several QST articles, starting with the Forty-niner back in March, 2016...
it was how to add an LCD display and VFO to a $10 QRP kit. It was also to encourage
young people to become hams with a capable HF xcvr for under $50. I enjoy QRP and CW
and try to promote it wherever I can.

have decided that I too want to go 100% QRP. You have demonstrated that my KX3 and wire

to keep CW Alive. I wish people would stay with the standard qso format.
CW is the only way to keep distance from the CB'ers.

(30m)and become 'radio active' but not sure what result will be. Guess until I try I will never know!

Finally caught up with your new web-site! I keep you in my favorites file so I only had the old one. 
Hoped you were OK but got concerned enough to get in touch with Mike to find out. Sad to see Kittaning Park in such dis-repair! 
Some new planks on those tables is in order as well as some fresh Rust-O-Leum on the shelter. Glad they are at least cutting the grass...

Nice web page.  Amateur radio is a great hobby.  I received my novice (w9ifz) July 11, 1954 it was on my way to a First Class Commerical license
which paid my way through college and a BSEE. After 65 years I still enjoy the hobby.  Majority of my contacts are QRP.  
It is a toss up which is more important ones receiver or antenna.  One should have the best receiver he can afford and a good resonant antenna. 
I have worked the world with home brew equipment, many transmitters only one tube or couple of transistors.  But I also have commercial equipment.
Looking forward to the upcoming ARRL 150 contest honoring Hiram Percy Maxim who did a lot for ham radio.  
One can still read his words in the early QST which ARRL keeps on line. 73, hope to see you down the road perhaps
on 40 meters around 7030 or their abouts. Stan AK0B

Thanks for promoting Morse code.  I received my novice ticket 10/15/57  and only operate QRP and CW.  
I have Parkinson’s so my fist is not as good as it once was but I still can use a bug, sk, sidewinder or paddle.  
I spent 30 years in the Air Force and 15 years teaching high school.  I am now retired and spend my time doing what my wife tells me to. Haha. 73’s Bill

Am enjoying your website - I am retired and wanting to get back on the air after a respite of about 10 years. 
I want to limit my operating to hand CW and am looking for nets or groups that remain committed to that mode - 
not interested in communicating with a machine or listening to someones computer generated garb - 
would be pleased to learn more about active hand CW groups or nets, on HF.

So glad to have found your site. I have been licensed for over 58 years. For the last forty years I have been busy working.
I retired a few years ago and moved into a condo. Have rekindled my love for ham radio and particularly CW (was a radioman in US Coast Guard)
and QRP due living in an antenna restricted community. Your site has provided me with a lot of info and it is invaluable.
Thanks again for a great web site. 72/73, Doc

nice website john. Hope to hear you on the bands. I am using a simple dipole and a long wire for station antennas.
lots of guys who run 1kw always act like they cant hear you until a contest and then ohhhhh yea ur 5x9 here.
I told a group of hams i was running 3 watts and they couldnt believe the signal was from a 3 watt output while they were
running 1kw, 500 and alot 100 watts. been running qrp since the early 80s. 73s and God Bless. David Todd ka9koj

Just stopping by to see some ideas for simple antennas. I am currently a tech but will soon test for my general ticket
and will need a simple wire antenna for phone and cw on 80 to 10 possibly 160. 73!
