Yes! I love Morse. I copy in my head and I send with an Iambic paddle and straight key. I like to be able to build the smallest possible radios--and nothing's simpler than a CW transmitter. I have a 5 watt transceiver (based on a Si48xx rx chip) that fits in an altoid tin I use when I travel. Hang a wire off the hotel balcony (I have a mini EFHW tuner, too) and start making contacts. I've been an "extra" since 1977, so we had to learn code back then. I also have the (now-obsolete) first class radiotelegraph licence where I had to copy code at an FCC field office at 25 WPM for 5 minutes in order to pass.... |

Back when I was really active, I had an iambic key in my truck and would make QSO's mobile.
