Feldhell #6375 - 2019 - HF digital mode for sending and receiving text using facsimile technology in which the characters are not decoded, but "painted" graphically on a screen for the operator to interpret.  A German engineer named Rudolf Hell, who patented this early method of facsimile in 1929.  Hellschreiber was the first successful direct printing text transmission system, and was very popular at a time when teleprinters were complex and expensive, because the Hell receiving mechanism had only two moving parts. 

Novice Rig Roundup  #1266 - July 2024 - Novice Rig Roundup (NRR) is an annual 9-day operating event celebrating the old Novice type equipment, and operating restrictions, of over 60 years ago.

NRR is focused on the days of 75 watts input at the plate and crystal controlled transmitters - however, ALL stations are welcome.

I hope to one day have my first QSO, perhaps with a LICW member.

I was a regular attender of the Beginers-1 class

I finished Beginners-1, but  I got no further as Beginners-2 was too fast.

I was the first LICW member from Oregon

My QSL Card Designs

First QSO to KB7SYB.  He never verified it so does not show up in my list at eQSL.  So technically no proof it never happened, But I will never forget.  

eQSL provides virtual QSL cards to share with other Hams after a QSO

Up to date and ready at eQSL, I've never had  occasion to send to  a contact after a QSO on the  air.

Prototype of next QSL card to use after I actually use code on air
