Mike, Same here. Invaluable for getting away from the perfect tone and spacing of my app to real-life QSO's. I'm 15 weeks into learning CW and just started to be able to copy at about 16 wpm.

Hi, the antenna is a dipole with ladder line? Tnx for share..73 LU8HRW

The antenna is a G5RV (mini). It is a shortened dipole with a 5m length of ladder line that acts as part of the antenna. The antenna works on 40m through to 10m with a tuner, 73

New to CW here, actually not entirely done learning the whole thing. But I must admit I'm a little confused as to the usage of K, SK, BK, are these all the same?
@vk2ter
5 ай бұрын
The break “K” is used when any station can reply, so it is usually sent at the end of a CQ call / call to any station. The break “BK” is used when you are in a QSO and only the other station in the QSO should reply. The break “SK” means “end of transmission” and it is used in the last over when signing off. Some operators may use the breaks differently or not at all. Hope this helps, 73

Hi James. I enjoyed another of your activations. Watching your antenna setup was helpful. I’ve used a drive-on mount and a spike for the mast, but hadn’t considered lashing it to a picnic table. Do you recognize all of those operators, or do you have a callsign database? TNX es 73 de David AE4LH.

Thank you David, the picnic table provides a great support for the telescopic mast. Several of the callers are regulars so I know them by name. But I am also using an electronic log on my phone (off camera) which provides the names for new callers or those I do not recognise, 73

@@vk2ter The issue is that the Venus does not have SWR and that is why I was interested in seeing how that was done on this particular device.

@user-ts6rc1gw5u The same procedure can be used with the SW-3B. Firstly, the capacitance on the ZM-2 is adjusted to get maximum noise from the radio speaker, indicating the SWR is low. Then the switch on the ZM-2 is changed to “tune” and a constant carrier (CW or AM) is transmitted from the radio. The red light on the ZM-2 indicates the SWR. The capacitance on the ZM-2 is fine tuned so the red light is faintest indicating lowest SWR. The switch on the ZM-2 is then put back to “operate” and you are good to go. An SWR meter is not required on the radio as the red light on the ZM-2 provides the reference during the tune process, 73
