As a young lad I recall making my first "rig" from a Ford spark coil and sending CW to my neighbour next door. Hardly DX, but I felt a mile high! On the other side of the coin, I've not made a CW transmission since taking my Advanced test in 1974, that is if I don't include my QRSS30 Lowfer beacon. There's something for everyone in this great hobby of ours! 73, J.B., VE3EAR - VE3WZL Solar and wind powered Lowfer " EAR" 188.830 EN93dr http://www.hurontel.on.ca/~weazle
