This is really great news Lubos!
Last night, with the receiver on 502.4kHz USB feeding both speakers and the PC
for WSPR monitoring I could hear OK0EMW CW and QRSS keying well from time to
time just by ear while doing other things. So I chime in on Rik's suggestion to
give normal CW a chance as well.
I hope X-band QSO's will be possible too at some point.
