Ham radio operators hopping the "cheddar curtain" - Morse code practice with captions

We listen in on Amateur "Ham" radio operators Frank and Duke hopping the Illinois - Wisconsin "cheddar curtain" border on 80m CW, using a simple regen receiver. Includes a lightning map showing the location of the strikes that cause the static crashes (QRN) on the speaker. You will hear the static crash, and then after a 2-second delay you can see the location of the lightning strike that caused the noise. Captions for the Morse code are provided, and you can adjust the speed of the code to your preference using the UA-cam tool bar speed control. 73 Lynn NG9D

Great stuff (your 1253 looks to be in better shape than mine) -- thanks! 73 JQ7BJB

Something or somebody seems to be unstable in frequency...

Thanks for the comment. Yes, the receiver is drifting while it is warming up. 73 Lynn NG9D
