No one has ever asked me what’s under the surgical towel! The frequency is set on 14.058 kHz. The volume is set very low so I can recognize if there is CW going on or not, but no one else reacts. When the situation allows I increase the volume, without lifting the towel.
After a hiatus of nearly 20 years I had yesterday my first CW QSO with Joe SP6JOE! My call is SM0VPE. Band 20 meter. My power was 5 watts.
To be active transmitting on shortwave four factors are important:
I. Time
II. Space
III. Money
IV. Support
Over the years these factors have varied, and now, with the new very small and cheap QRP transceivers with ATU, it’s once again possible for me!
