The first 2-way radio contact with Lego Morse keys

Martin G3ZAY and Juan HK3CQ were the first two radio amateurs to make a Morse Code radio contact using paddles made from Lego at both stations, at 17:00 UTC on 12th December 2010 on 14MHz.
The keys were designed by Hugo M0HSW (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bu_7aNoqvgw for more details)

@cliffe008 Hi. No, you really should not have a problem with the Foundation licence. It's mainly intended to just make sure you know roughly what you're doing, so you can get more experience on-air.

I don't know the IC-92d, I'm afraid, but it looks like a nice handheld from a quick Google search. Good luck with the exam & thanks for subscribing. 73.
