Show posts MenuQuoteI'm fortunate to still have my grandparents and am very close to them. Realistically I know my time with them is limited as they near the twilight of their lives so I try to spend as much time with them as I can.Right on! I normally get home about every two years to see my family but this year my wife and I are going to make a quick trip home after one year just to see my grandmother. Next year might be too late.
QuoteI enjoyed reading that, and I do hope you do get his call sign.Thanks!
QuoteCongratulations on the birth of your son and learning Morse code. Just keep at it, it will eventually sink in. Read the numerous posts here about learning the code...Thanks Gil. This forum has been a big inspiration and help in learning morse.
QuoteDipping the plate current and loading the finals is a lost art I think. You can read up on it. Here is a video of tuning up an old Drake xcvr but the KWM2 is similar ...Thanks. I'll definitely take a look at that video when I get home from the hospital. I downloaded part of the user manual for it and tried to follow the instruction on how to do it but it seems like they take for granted you already know something about what you're doing. It makes for unspecific instructions like "and finally adjust the loading with the load lever" and I'm left scratching my head saying to myself "well, I found the load lever but what am I adjusting it to?" So I just adjusted it for maximum power indicated on the wattmeter/dummy load.
QuoteUntil you get really fast and someone calls you at 7wpm
QuoteAnother great kit is the Weber Tri-Bander from qrpkits.com, $200 I think..
