You have been an inspiration to me as much as my elmer helped me when I was first licensed in 1974.
Keep up the great work. Ron NX8Y"

I enjoy QRP and run CW about 90% of the time.  I always try to encourage
operators to take the time to learn CW, it's a great mode and offers a great
deal of personal satisfaction. TNX, Bob

K3WWP I just enjoyed our 1st QSO on 40 M, John. It was a pleasure. I got into
radio late in life and I am 53 now. Born in '68... when you became an Extra!!!
Not long after I got my license I discovered that CW had a special power compared
to SSB so I put in the effort to learn it and I guess I will be trying to improve
every day henceforth. Hope to work you again soon. 73, Jay KY9I

GM John! Hope you are doing well. Heard you on the bands the other day and thought
I'd check out your web page (and sign your guestbook). I have been inactive for
the past 15 yrs or so while living in UT and CO, but now that I'm retired and moved
back to NC, I'm getting back into CW. I was very happy last month when my first
contact was during a NAQCC mW Sprint! I thought that was very appropriate for
someone who has always been 100% CW, 100% QRP (and QRPp). Hope to hear you again
soon and be able to have a chat! 73, Kevin KI4DEF

NAQCC ID 9062. Still trying to get online with CW. At the moment, I’m still
operating FM only using a BF-F8HP HT, but I’ll be pounding out CW as soon as I
can get my hands on a suitable transceiver.

Looked you up on QRZ.com John, after hearing your QRP signal from your attic
antenna on 30m long path, then followed the link to this fascinating site, what
a wealth of information and a great inspiration for many old and new Hams. I often
seek out US QRP stations on 40m and 30m long path, most don't realise they can
be heard Down Under and have to get me to repeat my callsign before they believe
it! The long path is very reliable, but not many CW operators in VK6 to take
advantage of it. I can make stateside contacts most days, an hour or two after
my sunrise, late afternoon/early evening US time. GL and 73, Phil VK6GX.

I work qrp portable from my car usually in the parking lot at work. You and my
dad were instrumental in my going qrp. I don’t make a contact each day but have been
getting more contacts using my cootie key with my Xiegu G90,at 5 watts. Look
forward to your 10,000 days in a row

Hi John, Stumbled upon your web site and read about your amazing experiences with
ham radio.  I'm a new ham only about 6 months under my belt, obtaining my General
in January 2021.  Just started researching and delving into CW. Unfortunately,
began late in life into this fascinating hobby.  Do have background in electronics
and computers so at least that has helped tremendously and the fact that I've
always liked learning and reading technical things.  Appreciate you sharing your
experience online with everyone.  This really helps us new hams. Thanks again. 73

John, Just wanted you to know that I enjoy your diary and have been reading it
daily for many years.  I think along with the amateur radio that the train
stories, weather statistics, stories about trips around the area, walking the
neighbor's dog, and your activities with Mike (and his writing in the diary)
are all very interesting and I appreciate your continuing with the diary.
Keep up the good work and take care!

Thankyou for letting me browse your site. I just joined NAQCC today. I'm fascinated with the idea
of making dx contacts all over the world using 5 watts or less and communicating with others using cw.
