    Keep at LB8ij, you are doing beautifully well. brings me back to 1975. amazing, this was only 16 wpm rate? I guess the spacing is far apart. When I was first licensed in 1975 finding this wpm QSO and much slower than 16 wpm was common place on the HF bands. I would visit the novice bands often to QSO with Novices. it was so long ago I forgot how slow was slow. edit/ adding. Slow to me was 5 wpm. there were plenty of hams sending under 10 wpm, in the late 70's when I was active.

    • @LB8IJ
      @LB8IJ Місяць тому

      Yes, most are quicker these days. It only adds to the callange getting on the air. There are some initiatives on fb that aranges slower qsos and allaso calling cq at slower speed, the oter stations do slow down to answer, so there is hope for those learning.

    Great video, thank you for sharing! I'm learning CW right now, and am still very very slow. What you're doing seems really great for just 18 days on air using CW! How much did you do during those 18 days? And how long did you practice before your first QSO?

    • @LB8IJ
      @LB8IJ 3 місяці тому

      This was QSO nr 83 on CW. Mostly hunting pota and sota but some regular qsos. I practiced intensly (about 15-60min a day) for about 3 months before my first qso 30. october 2023. It takes time and dedication, but if you keep at it you will get there. Looking forward to having a cw qso with you!

      At this Activation I was using a sloping efhw for 10,20,40m 12m long trapped at 10m. I do experiment a lot and bring different antennas for other activations.

    Loved the video. I am new to CW and still trying to practice every day. I am okay at sending but my copy is terrible. I can make out enough characters to hunt POTA contacts, but that is about it. Stumbled across your channel and subscribed recently. It is a big help watching your videos. TU es 73

      @@LB8IJ Last sunday I joined LICW club. I am looking to follow the courses to "get on the air". At the moment I work on 40, 80m using a Yaesu 891 or USDx+ unit, and 10m with a CRT 7900 V Last year I bought a WWII straight Key from Germany This evening at our local radio club (BXE in Brussels Belgium) a man is coming to explain YAGI-UDA antennas. Should be a ton of fun !
