Amateur Radio Station K7HJ


The Station

K7HJ is a QRP (5 watts) station located in Las Vegas Nevada, and operated by Bill Brady (K7HJ). The station equipment is incredibly simple, and includes the following:


  • Elecraft K1
  • Begali Simplex Mono
  • Begali HST "Silver Bullet"
  • EARC End Fed 6m - 40m meter HF Ham Antenn

    •  

    The Objective

    Licensed in 1989 when Morse code was required, Bill was tested at 5, 13, and 20 words per minute. While showing proficiency and obtaining the Extra Class license at 20wpm, Bill focused only on Voice operation. Fast forward 22 years later, it is Bill's goal to return to the art of CW and build his code speed up to 60wpm & seek membership into the HSC, SHSC, VHSC, and ultmately the EHSC Club.

    The Study

    I will implement the following programs into our study to advance at a faster rate than using the old fashion tapes:

  • G4FON Koch Trainer
  • CW Player
  • Morse Runner

    • The Required Reading

    The books I feel are required to fully understand the concepts of Morse Code from experterts in the Art of Telegraphy.

  • Zen and The Art of Radiotelegraphy
  • The Art & Skill of Radio-Telegraphy
  • MORSE CODE: Breaking the Barrier
