@geerlingguy No doubt broadcast AM radio has some utility, but consumer trends enabled by new tech will eventually relegate it to niche status. As the boomers age (I’m nearly one), demand will plummet. The decline of shortwave broadcasting perhaps offers some insight.

@VE6LK Not if I’m calling CQ DX. I feel like many US stations feel the same.

Getting ready for the NAQP CW contest. Hope to see you on the bands! #hamradio

@K6kwi Found you!

[Dave @ve5uo]

@PhotoJim67 Do tell!

[Dave @ve5uo]

@BrucePerens @egprentice A more specific example, slag the interests of others because it’s not ‘real’ ham radio.

@W4IPAstroke5 Lots of great advice provided so far. Learn to send and receive while learning (for most, the latter is more challenging). Check out https://t.co/MtfxjUt0Ha

@VA3QV I’ve heard it as well, and I’ve heard the NCS firmly remind the op that they are operating out of band. Don’t know that I’ve heard anyone argue with the NCS tho. I’m sure it’s predominantly an honest mistake.

@VA3QV There doesn’t appear to be any class of US license that can operate phone below 7.125MHz.

Last year the callsign VE9SKCC was operating across Canada during the month of September's Canadian Operating Event; this year we shortened the call and are giving the event a new name: The VC3Y Straight Key Month. The VC3Y Straight Key Month will be held throughout September.

@W4IPAstroke5 Awesome. It is definitely working! The sound capabilities of the C64 is pretty unique.

[Dave @ve5uo]

@W4IPAstroke5 Awesome! How did you program this?

[Dave @ve5uo]

Beautiful evening on the prairies.

[Dave @ve5uo]

@KayCraigieN3KN Nice! I can see that -- it's very enjoyable to operate. I wish I had found this one with the 100w option, but one must sometimes take what the flea market gods are offering.

Elecraft K2 installed in its proper spot! #hamradio
