    Really appreciate how you slowed down your BKs and the rest of the characters when a slower operator was talking to you.

    I have the Sony version of that speaker and I have found that I will hear a lot of QRM if I have it too close to my KX2.

    Great short activation om. Been fighting bronchitis hr for a week or so. On the mend and hoping to get out soon. Looks like Jim has been holding down Ky pota :) btw I have a love hate relationship with amplified ext speakers. I’ve gone to non amplified now. Hope all is well bud. 73

      Oh Jay, I hope you feel better soon. You're right, N4JAW has been keeping the state of KY on the air each and every day, it seems! :) Get well, OM!

    Nice! I see you're using the efrw antenna again. I'm excited to try that antenna. I think mine should be here any day now. Are there any bands you can't get with that antenna?

      I've had no issue with 40 and up. I think I've used it on 60, too, but I can't recall for sure.

    Hi Thomas, I always like you RUclips videos. I was wondering what kind of paddle you are using here. I hope to work you one day. 73's Fer MW0HXC

      It's a CW Morse SP4. Excellent paddle: cwmorse.us/products/sp4-sota-pota-cw-morse-magnetic-paddle-by-n0sa?ref=pHGSYqNC

    Speaker needs to be recharged??

    • @ThomasK4SWL
      @ThomasK4SWL  Год назад

      It had plenty of charge. I think is was some sort of interference via the audio cable or RF coming back.
