I retired last week and decided to come back to ham radio, QRP to be specific.
I found out my CW is a little rusty at 20 wpm (used to good at 25 wpm). but will catch up soon.
Using a Heathkit HW-9 and a Vibroplex Champion bug.  The  antenna is a Butternut HF-6V and it isn’t quite tune in yet.

I'm André, 58 years old, from Montreal, in the province of Quebec, Canada.  Just started in amateur radio with a ft-818.  Having fun reading and learning.  I have just listened on HF for now and of course UHF/VHF (easier).
Can't wait for summer here as I'll try to have some fun with HF on my sailboat on the lake.

You pick a time and date Pierre. I'm retired so am quite flexible.
BCNU! (I hope!!)

Welcome Gaspare. It's nice to see a new member and I hope to work you in the future.
