CWONDR, another Morse/CW project // 18-7-14
In the past years, I've been asked less and less what I'd wish for
birthday (coming soon), probably because I've always replied "nothing I
can think of" in recent years. This has changed, but nobody can give me
what I wish for, because it does not exist, AFAIK.
I want a low-power, pocket-sized CW transceiver for the 430 MHz (70 cm)
band, and I want it for all radio amateurs who love Morse code. It
would be kind of CW fan's cellphone, except without cells, because it's
meant for direct contacts of course. This _must_ be possible, but it
looks like nobody is selling it. Therefore I've decided to start my own
project, clumsily named [1]CWONDR as git repository. It's mainly just a
wishlist, for now.
In addition, after years of hesitation (procrastination?) I finally
managed to apply for membership in the [2]Helvetia Telegraphy Club, in
the hope of finding like-minded people, also for my other Morse project
called [3]AMBroS which is in state of infancy since about fifteen
years. Yeah, what a shame!
I guess I'm starting to be old enough to sense the looming end of my
presence on Earth, but if this fear finally gets me moving my a.. it's
welcome! ^-^
