Y Siempre,
estoy celebrando los recuerdos de viejos amigos míos.
***************************************************************************

Personal History :
This is where I came from in the 50's : 
When did you first hear CW ?  
...  For me it was as K4KKQ, teenager,
in the mid 50's, at Norfolk, VA,
at the Naval Air Station, in the Ham Shack. 
The Navy CW ops were exceptional ! 
The CW ops could, and would operate at 65 wpm.
They could and would give lessons, demos, QSO,
at any speed  
...  the mill , the paper-tape puncher,
the paper-tape reader
were all set up for demonstration
... you type it
then the chief would receive it by ear (65wpm) 
and type it back to you . Amazing skills. 
... So,  Just 10 years from WWII in the Pacific,
on Carriers, Destroyers, and Submarines,
these Navy radio ops had three things going for them
that I never had
(1) Talent
(2) Opportunity,
(3) the Motivation that Only Comes                     
from Knowing there are Incoming Torpedoes !!! 
                                                                            

Current Station :
Rig #1: Vintage Retro Station, 2013, 1977    HeathKit HW8 , and 1940 Bug.
QRPp / CW    at   1 Watt on 20M    into Long-Wire 225 ft. 
sometimes :Rig#2: Kenwood TS830  ...   QRP/CW only on  40M   ... 

* HW8  with Analog CW Signal Processor  & Oscope
   for Weak Signal CW Ops . 
* works well down to S1 CW signals. 
* This Circuit  I use daily with my HW8 and old Bug working weak signals. 
* Roofing Dual-Channel-Differential Phase-Filter,  
* Active Log-Limiter,  
* Quad Filter, with Differental & Integral Phase-Filtered Stages,  
* Audio class B, articulated.
