Super site - Wow. For this old timer (off the air for 45 years) finding your site feels really great. I decided my return
to the air was going to be QRP with CW with investigating digital modes until my copy speed came back.
I chose to build the QRP-Labs QMX 60-15m "mid-band" rig, and successfully made my first QSO in 45 years using FT8.
I promptly burned some chip in the receiver trying to tune a 15m EFHW, so I can't participate in the upcoming FOBB
which was to be my first CW QSO. I'm hooked on QRP this time around. One comment about your QRP Rigs page - QRP-Labs is missing.
Their QMX and QCX-mini rigs are really well designed with excellent receivers. 72 WB0ZJJ-Alan

Just joined NAQCC and will be doing the same with FISTS. I have a couple of encouraging Elmers, and they both love QRP
and one is active in NAQCC and suggested I join and get involved. I now have a nice QRP portable rig and am looking forward
to doing more with that and doing more QRP with my home base rig. It's great to see what you've done
and that's very encouraging to see that it can be done!

Recently became acquainted with your website through a friend, Joe KK5NA, my CWOps Academy instructor.
I intend to make QRP CW contacts a regular part of my operating.

Hi John, Great to catch you on 80m CW a while ago. It has been awhile. I have heard you a couple times recently
but missed working you. I'm usually listening on 3.543 at 0035Z as some of my buddies have been playing with some older gear.
I was running a Drake 2NT thru a HK HG-10b VFO with a 2C receiver. Had a HK 1410 keyer clanking away. Hi Hi.
73 for now John. Catch again OM.
