I am social DXer . Lover of pounding the Holy Brass - CW !! It's music to my ears!
I know CW is a dying art, but great CW can make the hairs on my arm stand up !
My favorite band is 40m !! But I am getting more interested in 160m now.
Original call was KN2MMS in the late 50s. As teenager was active CW Dxer with NC-300
and Viking Valiant to Mosley TA 33JR and 40m wire vertical running up a tall tree.
I am always learning new things in LIFE -
The best students make the best teachers.
they are TWO Sides of the SAME COIN !!!
Life is eager to meet our expectations !
Antennas : at 33 meters: 2el on each band 30 / 40 meters
at 30 meters: 3 el on 20m, 4 el on 15 meters
80m has Delta loop hanging off tower Apex at 22 meters,
for 160m the tower is shunt fed , with radials on the ground.
Using 4 el vertical array on Receive on 160/80m made by HI Z antennas -
the elements are homebrew .
I have all 40 zones CONFIRMED on each of these BANDS
80, 40, 30, 20, 15 and 10 meters
160 m (TOP BAND) is a work in progress !

As KN2MMS in late 50s my first Transmitter was crystal controlled
World Radio Labs 680A using single 6146 ( I used light bulb as dummy load )
In the early years , KN2MMS - Globe Scout 680A and Hammarlund HQ-100
age about 12 years . My early " Elmers" were just a little older than me:
Jerry K2TNI ( now N4JR) and Dan K2YWE ( still same call) - both
still active and very skilled Operators !
