AA4OO [ Ссылка ] chats with Steve W1SFR on 80m using CW. I am located in North Carolina and Steve is in Vermont. We are both using simple stations with wire antennas. I am using an Elecraft KX3 and Steve is using an Elecraft K2. My CW key is a Vibroplex Vibrokeyer connected to a MFJ keyer which allowed me to capture my side of the QSO below.

We discuss the unusual weather, our radios and our shared enjoyment of using equipment from Elecraft.I captured the CW being sent by my keyer so you can at least read my side of the QSO below, including my errors (the repeated E's is one CW way of indicating an error and retrying)... The two 'E's at the end of the QSO are a standard 'bye-bye'
