I’m not sure if there’s not that many people on the radio (most likely) or if the antenna doesn’t work that well (also likely) but I just talked to Troy, NY on 40M. That’s actually quite a rarity for me. I also was too chicken to send any Morse code but I heard a guy in Chicago and a guy in Hungary sending Morse code that I could barely decipher. My code speed is pretty slow.

Sounds like the antenna works and I need to wire up all the gizmos so I can send Morse code as well. Oh dear, this could be a huge time investment, couldn’t it? So much for getting any sleep.
