@@W0ABE nice. Looks _comfy_ I finally got a “real” J38 and have been loving it. I had a cheap Japanese one. Even though it had the ball bearings, it wasn’t as nice as the old USA made thing. I’ll keep an ear out for you. I’ve only got 40 and 20 at the moment, but I guess I can see what it can tune. 73 DE VK2NAP dit dit
@@W0ABE so many nice keys out there, but it’s harder to find one that’s reasonably priced and taking into account the cost of shipping to the antipodes, it’s insane. I picked up an old PMG post office key from before WWII and though it was $20. It set me back another $22 in shipping fees. Now he did list it as pick up only, so standard I threw another $20 to cover his half an hour or so stuffing around at the post office. $65 got me a chunk of brass on an old chunk of not very special timber. That said, it belonged to his old man who was a ham. He has no interest in it and the spring and spring adjustment screw is missing. I’ll get it going and get a new board made for it. Give it some love. It will see the airwaves again
@@Sercall78 for SKCC specifically I use the scripts below. I end up loading contacts back to SKCC logger to track status - gist.github.com/swalberg/6ba5b89924f6a6a40f713e4b260ae731#file-get_skcc
@@Sercall78 yea, at the end of the day you don't gain much using RunLog. I would recommend downloading SKCC Logger from the SKCCLogger User Group on groups.io to save yourself some headache. I believe you have to request access to join the group.
Is that a DX 10? How do you like it? I'm looking to buy. Some say the relay is a bit noisy. I don't hear it in your video.
It is and I love it. There’s plenty of folks with more experience with a variety of receivers than I do but I have no complaints.
You had a good run
What’s the key you’re using ??
Im using the Cw Morse camel back key.

@MidlifeRenaissanceMan I’ve been on the lookout for a nice J38. I’m planning to get back to SKCC activities. Hope to catch you on the air! 73 de WØABE

What program do you use to log with a Mac?
@@Sercall78 I use RumLog. It’s free and has everything you need for everyday logging as well as contesting. I highly recommend it.
@@W0ABE I use runlog but I don't know how to configure to skcc.
