Always wondered what the QTH of all that code practice looked like. Now I know why their signal is so strong 2000 miles away, 1KW and an extensive antenna farm. Thanks for posting this video.

Well done – thanks for a great video tour – it’s been years since I was there – 70′s Morgan Godwin actually lit off the spark gap transmitter for our Explorer Post group – those days are long gone. Keep up the good work and the good videos! Howard K3HW
thanks Randy,
Good job om . I gotta get there and also to Dayton someday . been a ham 30 years (this time) and still can copy about 30 w.p.m. Long live cw !
There’s a pretty good Collins Radio museum–small but pithy if you’re into that old stuff in Cedar Rapids, IA on the Rockwell Campus. ARRL can’t hold a candle to what they have here in Japan–but it’s still pretty good. Makes me proud of the hobby. Thanks, Randy. 7J1AWL
After 48 years in ham radio, I still practice once in a while to test my actual speed. Still good to copy a full paragraph at 25 wpm. 30 wpm in contests.
Neat video! I worked W1AW for the first time back in November during the Phone Sweeps contest. Now I just have to send my QSL card and get it confirmed.
Hi Randy, Excellent Job ! The next time we go I must take the tour. We were just there 3 days ago dropping off QSL cards.I live just a few miles from the place. Take care Jason “KB1IGK”
