I need to hook it up to a keyer and see what is sounds like with the paddles- a straight key is out of the question for me. Once I get the keyer options figured out I'll let you all know and maybe we can set up a skeg- real slow CW only.
Good deal, man I guess I will have to get busy and start getting my CW speed back up to par. I also need to get a working HF antenna set up here at home. We had a really bad storm with 70 mph winds and it whipped my old vertical until it was unusable. Plus I lost 160 feet of fence so will be busy installing new fence.
