Good Job! It is GREAT to see home brew radio equipment and you are making long range radio contacts with something you made with your own hands!

25K/min! That is amazing on an HF link. I am awed by PACTOR III, so this PACTOR IV is excellent progress.

Yes- Bayfields in general I like and mine is a Bayfield 32c. I has a fine Vee Berth and etc. One thing I do wish was than mine had though, is a tiller in place of the wheel. I never did like a wheel. She sails like a dream, handles weather well and -at least on paper- draws only 3'9"!

Thank...

OK, so I'm well traveled, and have some interesting 'practical weapons experience' in my past, but.....

I have NEVER seen a "Hello Kitty" .45 ! ha ha ha Thanks for the laugh.

--- sorry for the typos--- I was laughing...

Ha! Love It! I am building an 1625 (12 volt 807) xtal controlled transmitter right now.

..... we DO need to talk a bit about your "key" though... //GRIN//

Ya'Know, just when I THINK that I'm some sort of an old pro at Morse, I see someone like DA who totally blows me away! AAAaaand , she does this with polished, 1 1/2 inch fingernails! (GRIN!)

No GOATS?!?!?! Why those Barbarians! I am certain that 'the right to keep weight bearing goats' is somewhere in the U.S. Constitution. (GRIN!)

Oh my gosh a PRD-1 ! it's been about a million years since I've seen one of those. 05H 05D & 98G-CZ "Black is for..."

A good piece of casting there. Some people just carry a role well. Some actors can never move like a soldier, Fred Ward -though an actor - moves like he just naturally means business in this role, he has that sort of latent tiger even when sitting still. The Father/Son interaction with Chun i...

Aaah! Good, sturdy fashion and making 'friend's too. What more could a man ask for - unless maybe if she has sisters?!?

55 years I've walked this Earth and I have never heard this speech before. Thank you for posting it.

You owe me a new keyboard! I spewed with your: "Dude, it's like, two thousand eleven...". comment.

Good info, no hype. I'll be mulling this over for tactical, private comms ideas.

Thanks,

Ray

Wow! I would never have seen your T-shirt/jeans carry. That looks cool, comfortable and -as you pointed-out- repeatable. Thanks very much for making these excellent videos.

Haaaa ha ha ha! This was really well done. Good acting too!

Nicely done! There is much to be said about 'the smaller the boat, the bigger the fun.'. Thanks for posting.

I think that I read somewhere that during World War II, resistance radio operators used such keys and to protect the content of their messages, they DID eat the key to prevent enemy cryptanalysts from reading the messages. This had the unfortunate effect of aiding the German radio intelligence ag...

At last! The Secret Ham Radio Handshake caught on video! Proof now exists of the world wide conspiracy to rule the WORLD using ham radio...

Gee Thanks! - My wife was ALL READY to buy me a very expensive Begali bug for my birthday next month and then she saw THIS video! Now, all I get is a paper cup of coffee and some paper clips. Of course, strong coffee does increase my CW sending speed!

This makes perfect sense: for a BIG signal, you need BIG PADDLES! I'm going to buy two snow shovels and get to work on by BIG SIGNAL now!

Aaaah! Gorgeous key! I see that they are not currently available. I'm pounding code on a large navy knob 'sparkless' key and it's functional, but far from a piece of art like this. QRK 5 ES FB FIST OM DE W7ASA

One of my favorite episodes.

The British did splendidly! What a fine aircraft. If he could carry enough fuel and work out sleeping arangements, I think he'd fly it home.

The French Volerian is gorgeous, flew well and fits the period excellently. Viv L'France!

The American improvised Wright ...

Wonderful! I love good, sour & hot kimchee. Thank you for making this video to teach us how to make Chinese cabbage and also radish kimchee. I like both.
