Ahem... Hi, guys!
I've been standing over there in the corner listening to the
conversation here for the last week or so and figured I better say
howdy.
I don't know what happened but I got the QRP bug a couple of months
ago and finally found your list. It's odd, really, as I'm not active
on the air and my interest up to now has been in big old tube-type
receivers.
Anyway, I figure a QRP station will be just the thing to add that
final touch when I go camping with my 1958 Willys 4X4 wagon pulling my
1947 teardrop trailer!
For some reason I am lusting for a HW-9 at the moment, even though I
have never seen one in the flesh. I realize this might require some
modification of the weight specification in my signature line.
I'd appreciate any words of wisdom about this radio as well as
guidance about antennas. Right now I'm thinkin' wrist rocket and
fishing line and a light weight dipole.
By the way, I think I actually heard a couple of you last night -
KB0ROL and K8CV on 7.112Mc. That's really saying something as I'm in
a high noise city location with maybe 30ft. of wire 20ft. off the
ground.
Regards,
Dick
