Summer 2022 I didn’t understand any cw. Now every park and summit for the past 5 months have been cw. Your videos have helped A LOT. Great activation, cheers.

Thank you Christopher for the feedback. Well done with your progression with CW (I am subbed to your channel), you are very proficient given you have only been learning since the middle of last year. Keep up the good work, 73

James, that 15m & 10m on the DX on Japan was a bit hard with QRM and copy was so low on CW. Good job mate and the radio is working great now Yaesu 891. Thanks for a good working conditions with the video, and it did not raining HIHI 73 44 de Dennis vk4oc.

The last contact was certainly very challenging due to the QRM and QSB. There were powerlines and houses nearby which could have been the source of the noise. It started to get cloudy during the activation but luckily it did not rain. Thanks again Dennis, 73
