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.

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. Consider this my personal invitation to join the club and assist us in these efforts. Membership is FREE. Over 5,800 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 as well as perhaps the largest club devoted to CW/QRP operation. CW is indeed still alive and well. For more info and/or to join the club, click here.

>> 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.

When I made 6 QSO's on February 7, 2011, that started a 2nd still continuing streak of making 2 or more QRP/CW QSO's a day.

I believe the streak is significant not for anything personal, but because it shows the effectiveness of CW even at QRP power levels. The streak has gone through all stages in a sunspot cycle from the depths of a minimum to the heights of a maximum without missing a beat.

A detailed explanation follows the table.
