John, Always enjoy reading your QRP adventures and hope you will continue to inspire us all to get on the air and try something different.

Hi John,

Thanks for all your good work. Especially sharing daily life, adventures and operations.

You are a source of inspiration for many people.

Cw and qrp. Don’t leave home without it !

Extra ear scratching for Roscoe.

Hello John,
Well I read your diary every single evening and have for over a year. My day is not complete unless I read what you are up to. Your Web site has been an inspiration to me and many others over the years. I’m not far from Your town and sometimes visit relatives in East Brady. Maybe next time over in Pa. I’ll stop by and meet you -‘with plenty of advance notice and confirmation, of course. Take care of yourself and I wish you good health. Dennis wb8wtu

I now live with my wife in a retirement village so space and cost are factors.

Have enjoyed your website the last couple years while operating QRP with an all band doublet antenna. I have worked 151 countries and confirmed 122 QRP since I started operating again in 2016. Thanks for the stories and the encouragement. 73, Bill

So glad to have found your site. I have been licensed for over 58 years. For the last forty years I have been busy working. I retired a few years ago and moved into a condo. Have rekindled my love for ham radio and particularly CW (was a radioman in US Coast Guard) and QRP due living in an antenna restricted community. Your site has provided me with a lot of info and it is invaluable. Thanks again for a great web site. 72/73, Doc

nice website john.

Hope to hear you on the bands. I am using a simple dipole and a long wire for station antennas. lots of guys who run 1kw always act like they cant hear you until a contest and then ohhhhh yea ur 5x9 here. I told a group of hams i was running 3 watts and they couldnt believe the signal was from a 3 watt output while they were running 1kw, 500 and alot 100 watts. been running qrp since the early 80s .

73s and God Bless.

Just stopping by to see some ideas for simple antennas. I am currently a tech but will soon test for my general ticket and will need a simple wire antenna for phone and cw on 80 to 10 possibly 160. 73!
