Biography

Good morning all.

Ham radio since 1987 and morse operator since 2007.

Time passes, memories remain but fortunately my grandson is there to take over. He loves getting in the shack and doing a bit of radio with me. For him, it must certainly have a magical side... We both have a good laugh.

Today I only send in morse code and preferably in QRP. I have a particular affection for this mode of transmission.

Obviously I defend the use of old-fashioned morse code (decoding by ear).

Equipment

My transceiver is a Xiegu G-106 which I love and which is an excellent QRP transceiver for CW contrary to the reviews I have read.

I also have an excellent IC-7300 which I also often use in QRP.

I also use a "CWFlea": A QRPP transmitter (370 mW) and a Belka DX receiver with which I also made very nice contacts.

My antenna is a modest inverted-V EFHW, fed by a 49:1 UNUN. It is supported by two 10M high spiderbeam masts.

My prefered morse key at home is an Ericsson SMK; Swedish Navy morse key;

I also have an excellent Marconi 365 EZ ans its excellent spanish "clone", build under licence marconi 365EZ.
