You're visiting one of the oldest continuously updated ham radio sites on the Internet, founded on September 8, 1996. I've been consistently showing how easy it is to communicate using only 5 watts of power or less into simple wire antennas IF you use Morse Code. No matter what your interests - DX, contesting, rag-chewing, awards, etc., you CAN succeed with a simple station as I have. My site offers many examples of what I have done (and you can do) with CW/QRP and simple wire antennas from a valley location. You'll also find many good tips and much useful information concerning other aspects of ham radio.
TRY CW - IT WILL BE LOVE AT FIRST DIT

I'm proud to be a member, officer, and co-founder of the NAQCC which (as I am) is devoted to promoting CW and QRP usage on the ham bands.

Over 2,400 members have been signed up since the club's inception in October 2004 - making it one of the fastest growing ham radio organizations in the world. CW is indeed still alive and well.

>> CW QRP QSO OF THE DAY
When I worked Chuck, KG9N/C6A (see QSL) as my first QSO of August 5, 1994, that started a still continuing streak of making one or more QSO's every day using QRP, Morse Code, and simple wire antennas. As of Jul 31, 2008 the streak stood at 5,110 days and 48,374 QSO's with 13,505 of the QSO's being DX (non-W/VE). The QSO's were with 14,674 different hams according to unique call signs in my log. Check my Streak Update report for more details. The table below shows info on one or two of the QSO's I made on each of the latest 10 days of the streak. If I worked any DX that day, the DX station is listed in the last column. See 154 Days of DX for details of a 154 day streak of working DX I had in early 2000. An asterisk after a call indicates the station I worked was also running QRP. Thanks to everyone I work, not just those stations listed below. To see all my QRP QSO's, check the Logs section.
