Thank you! I have a lot of years in electronics, since my Navy days, so it was not hard to study and then do. The folks in Huntington Beach are really nice! I need to learn code and also get my Extra so as to just have it all, and be able ot then do whatever . . . when I learn how to do it! Heeheheheeee.xtatik wrote:Awesome job!

It is not necessary but it is one of those things that is useful, especially to play on very low power. I’d like to build a very low power, very small rig and put that in my backpack (where every ounce counts). Then I could play with that in some odd and interesting places. My plan is to start with a simple RockMite, and then move along from there, but keeping very small, and because of that, staying in CW world for that at least… so, code is then key!OLLIE wrote:No code is necessary anymore.
I've contemplated doing this as well, and I agree with you code is essential for qrp remote.DennisDawg wrote:It is not necessary but it is one of those things that is useful, especially to play on very low power.

Wow, goats would be great, well for a while. When you were out on the trail they’d be great helpers. When you got home, they’d be goats!xtatik wrote:I've contemplated doing this as well, and I agree with you code is essential for qrp remote.
Check this guy out, he's got the QRP weight problem beat by having goats haul half the weight:
