This is a short video demonstration of my participation in the BW QSO Party, in memory of Bill Windle, G8VG, (SK), past chairman of the First Class Operators Club. The annual single-day event is memorialized by calling CQBW, in honor of Bill. The idea is mainly to enjoy as many fast CW QSOs as you like with no stress, but you can list the number of QSOs made and report the number of QSOs made with each new exchange, if you like. Many are in the several thousands!
I enjoyed using my 5-watt QRP transceiver from our porch to make many contacts, one after another, using this simple transceiver, a 30’wire antenna and a LIPO battery.
Enjoy!
