As a "Phone" guy who dabbles in CW I would like to see equal numbers of both. I can't agree with the statement about running out of stations to work. There were many of us low power limited stations

Sorry for some of the confusion. Here are the CW teams. I had K0WA on two teams. I have to pull out of the CW test. I just got the flu :(. NO6X will fill in for me. K4LT has also pulled out so Me Too
I carried my Ft-1000MP with me. I found a rolling carry on piece of luggage that It just barely fit in. The 850 is smaller so you should have an easier time finding one that works. The airlines seem
I had the opportunity to tune around when my guest op was taking his off time. 20 had died, 40 was long and everyone was on 80 and 160. Not having gotten on for CW I can't compare. I sure picked a go
