Even though a fellow blogger friend of mine recently said that the secret to working the rare DX for the <100 w station was morse code, I, and I suspect most of us (and especially the die-hard phone users like myself) begrudgingly already know this.
Radio wise I have been stuck in a little bit of a rut recently, stuck on 91 DXCC, with 49 confirmed on eQSL, so I'm one off being able to print the next certificate off, I have been busy though, sending QSL cards off, however radio activity has been mostly working special event stations and any stations of interest, like when I worked
F/HB9LCP, Sandro, on holiday 100 Km from Bordeaux, on the N. Atlantic coast, great QRZ.com page showing his camper vans.
Anyway back on subject, a pal of mine has recently taken up the code, and is slowly and surely catching me up DXCC wise, well I cant have that, so what better incentive is there to learning than by actually having your own morse key, so this is on it's way from the US of A.
It's an Iambic paddle from Vibroflex, I saw it and fell in love with it..
Seeing that on my desk will be the incentive learn the code.
Or become an expensive and shiny doorstop.
