Perhaps we could exchange cell phone numbers this time? <br /><br />It seems simplex frequencies were next to useless around there. I can't believe the people that chose 146.52 for constant chatter.

Thankfully, I came home without breaking the bank but did purchase a few needed items. Great report and I plan on doing the same once I get settled back in as we just returned last night.

Next year I will make an effort to collect cell phone numbers from several people before the trip up and back in a day.

Last time I was there was 1996, I think that was the last year before FDIM started. That's #1 on my wish list - to make it to FDIM. Maybe someday we can meet there, together.<br /><br />73 de Larry W2LJQRP - When you care to send the very least!https://www.blogger.com/profile/08707602309223956112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156518320909350372.post-29053851437214320752014-05-21T05:37:40.318-07:002014-05-21T05:37:40.318-07:00Hello Mike,

Radio has come to me as the art of sending Morse Code as much as the radio and antenna. Having the right tools for the job is essential. Makes the difference between work and play.Jspikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14751088160139882564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156518320909350372.post-88780188078947995152014-05-21T03:18:58.373-07:002014-05-21T03:18:58.373-07:00Good morning John, great to read that you made it ...Good morning John, great to read that you made it to Dayton! As of yet I still have that on my bucket list and one day I plan on making the trip. Very nice shots and report on your trip and it was great to see you were able to try out keys. Keys are a very personal thing and each have their own feel to them. With the price of the units these days it 's nice to know you get the one that works the best for your fist. <br />MikeVE9KK https://www.blogger.com/profile/04720839744779758420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156518320909350372.post-79297751643237633472014-05-20T17:38:28.011-07:002014-05-20T17:38:28.011-07:00Hello Jeff,

I now have a spring loaded dual paddle Standard Iambiac, and Square Magnetic Racer which I use in the field, and a little Code Mite for occasional field QRP use. <br /><br />You absolutely right about never having enough keys.

I've not ...Hello John, Nice report from Dayton. I've not gone yet but I'll never say never. I'll make it down there sometime. <br /><br />The Vibroplex straight key is nice one. It sounds a little funny becuase the "click" happens not on the key down stroke but when the lever is let back down to the rest position. Once it's hooked up to the rig and sending code it's not a problem. I can't here it at all. The Vibro SK was my first quality SK -I get it out every so often and give it a try. Also I like it because it follows their theme of looking like it was made from leftover bug parts. I'm like you I could never settle for one key and be happy!<br /><br />73 W8MDE recumbent conspiracy theoristhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06534820082655384780noreply@blogger.com
