QRP CW from the field

KC4TM operating QRP/CW from the field on the Caloosahatchee River in Fort Myers, FL in January. Using a ten-tec 1320 and a fishing pole vertical running about 3 watts. Conditions were tough but I managed a few contacts.

It was a very enjoyable day. Nice to get out in the field for some fresh air and QRP!

QRP and QRS! With a straight key, no less, very nice. That's about the fastest speed I can copy so far myself, but I hope to get faster with practice. 73 de NF6Q

Good skill to have, I am putting together a 40 meter unit using vectronic kits soon, will be usefully after the next Carrington event around 2012-2013. Sure during the high point, prob. not even CW will get through, but afterwards you should be able to get a signal through with vital messages, until normal communications can be restored. Although HAM satellites will probably be out right dead in orbit.

Nice to hear code that is slow enough so that even I can copy it. Keep up the good work!
