My CW is too rough for that :)
I'm going to practice sending using an HD-1410. I'll then jump onto
7.117.000 and make some contacts in the novice part of the band at slow
speed.
I bought this unit off QRZ with the intention of using it in the field.
I don't like hauling a 706MKII and the necessary batteries with me on
the AT.
The unit came with the Maldol AH-C7,C21, and C14. The ATU in this KX1
seemed to match well with the AH-C7. Not sure if anyone else here is
using a similar setup.
Everything on the unit checks out but I've not tested the power output
yet. I don't have a power meter capable of testing at QRP levels.
Hopefully someone in the local club has one and can check it for me.
I spent many hours during the winter picking up CW. I spent too much
time focusing on RX but not TX and I need to do more TX practice. I
decided that buying this rig would be a catalyst. Having something like
this to take out in the field is sure to motivate me :)
I did not realize that this list puts the sender in the Reply-To and not
the actual list. For those that did not read the thread I was using a
mono plug for my J key instead of a stereo plug. A pair of clip leads
showed me what I should have done.
