I completed my first #hamradio #morsecode qso today with K7GT in Medford OR on 40m with my IC7300 and a borrowed straight key! I'm super excited, even if I had to cheat by waiting for weeks for a strong enough signal for FLdigi to be able to reliably decode for me because I cannot head copy yet. I exchanged SKCC No, location and signal and let Allan know he was my first #amatureradio contact on Morse. I'm super excited. Now I just need 15min a day for a few more months so I can head copy.

Ok #HamRadio #amatureradio peeps. I have listened to the #HamRadioWorkBenchPodcast for 2+ yrs ..... But I still don't think I can get on the DMR bandwagon. I just want a dual band FM handi-talkie, but if it could do another mode that might be neat. I want a better filtering front end (aka not a UV5R..... I already have those) because where I SOTA is a heavy RF environment. I don't actually remember the latest buying advice for <$200 HTs. @VE6LK or @KJ6VU or @VA3ON or @va3mw or @n6mts
