Awesome Brooks! It's kinda funny, because I just did my first CW POTA activation last week, and I filmed it and posted it on RU-vid as well. Great minds think alike!

@ThomasK4SWL Год назад

That's brilliant! Please reply with a link! :)

Brooks is my hero! I got my license in June 2022, then upgraded to General in July 2022 and now am earnestly learning CW. I can’t wait! I need to post my very first POTA SSB video to RU-vid so everyone can laugh at me! Keep up the videos and this one is so inspiring. THANK YOU!!

“Just go do it” is great advice! It’s the only way.

Great video, thanks

@mikecrockford6500 Год назад

Very impressive after such a relatively short learning period !! Big pile up and it sounded rough ! Handled it like a boss 😎

@shadowlab9543 Год назад

great video !! i cant wait for my first activation.

@RC-rv1mo Год назад

I don't know why I was so nervous for your first CW POTA..you did GREAT Brooks! Congratulations! All the best, AG7UW

@shanemccray4050 Год назад

Learning Morse right now. Up to 12 letters now at 5 words a minute, after two weeks.

@n3ljs399 Год назад

CODE QUICK IS WHAT I USED TO LEARN THE CODE.......U DONT HAVE TO LEARN IT AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. AN EXAMPLE IS THE LETTER K IT IS TAUGHT AS "KANGAROO". THE LETTER D IS TAUGHT AS "DOG DID IT" AND E IS "EEK". F IS TAUGHT AS" DID I FAIL IT". SOUNDS FUNNY BUT AT ANY SPEED THEY SOUND THE SAME. THEY COME WITH FLASHCARDS. ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO AND GOOD WORK BROOKS..........RIDE THE WAVE THE CONTINUOUS WAVE!

@ke4est Год назад

I hope to work Brooks on the air soon! ....and you too Thomas, I have my phone set to alert me, when you are on from the RBN, but I guess Murphy is just too close most of the time. I have tried repeatedly to hear you. Either I don't or you are barely in there.

@ThomasK4SWL Год назад

It'll happen this year, OM! :) Thank you for hunting me!

@shadowlab9543 Год назад

its cool to see people matched his speed, i was listening yesterday and this guy was like 50 wpm 😵‍💫

@cmw69krinkle1 Год назад

Awesome job Brooks! I dig your style with the lucky nail polish. -KQ4DAP

@w2aew Год назад

I love Kurt Zoglmann's videos - great practice.

@jayhvidsten8353 11 дней назад

Great idea for a video. I'm sure most people watching hace either been there or hope to get to their first CW activation someday.

They grow up so fast ;)

@ssmith7163 Год назад

Thanks for the inspiration. I’m working up the nerve to do my first activation. Just me, but I find I have more control and make fewer keying errors with a straight key.

@rabbit6914 Год назад

Just go ahead and do it, and you will have a great time, whatever happens. You will make mistakes, but we all do, even Thomas (smile)

@Om-nom-nomigon Год назад

Brooks absolutely killed his first POTA activation. I am not quite confident enough to give CW POTA a go yet (hopefully soon), but really appreciated watching someone else’s first go at it

@BrekMartin Год назад

Is all of the IC-705 case plastic? If so, how is the heat getting out of it?

@ThomasK4SWL Год назад

It is all plastic. It seems to be engineered so that heat really isn't an issue under normal (not in full sunlight) conditions.

@BrekMartin Год назад

@@ThomasK4SWL Thanks!

@n1bsbri Год назад

Congratulations Brooks, you did a great job on your CW activation. I did my first just this month, and Thomas's videos were an inspiration and help to me. I hope to catch you on the air sometime soon! ‐-n1bs
