| Biography Licenced since December 1981
My first station was a KW Vespa MK II transmitter and a Heathkit amateur band receiver, I had an Eddystone EC10 communication receiver for receiving top band. It was all very different in those days.
I got the QRP and CW bug when I acquired a Heathkit HW7 transceiver
I have had a long break from amateur radio and, now that I am retired, I am getting back into the hobby.
My station now is an Icom IC-7300. I use only CW.
I am now concentrating on getting my morse back up to speed. There is so much available these day to help with learning the code. Back in 1980 all I had was a Datong Morse tutor and listening to slow Morse from RAF Locking and other stations. No home computers, laptops and tablets in those days.
