"Hi Tom,Thanks for answer.
I think we dis some contact on Icw some times ago, and I see your call from time to time on RBN Club.
I'm trying to renew my Icw set up.
I had a small oscillator/filter (do not recall the name), and I would like to go…"

QRQ ragchewing in France
Hi all,I did not post anything since a few years, but I would like to share with you my experience with QRQ.I started radio long ago. In 1977/78 I was professionally located in San Diego (CA) and was member of the "North Shores RC".Nice people, and one of them, which call or name I cannot recall, gave me his Vibroplex Bug to try this strange key!This gave me the CW bug, and when I came back in France, I never stopped making CW.But I was a slow operator (15/20 wpm).A few years ago I begun to…See More
"Thanks folks!
HNY to you both.
Thanks for great site about QRQ."
"ALSO from KF7CX
"Gerard should know that he can build the Hi-Per-Mite to suit a tone frequency range that he might prefer. You might want to send him the attached table.""
"Hi Gerard
i just asked KF7CX about his REGEN range of pitch and here is what he replied to me in an email:
FROM KF7CX
"I'd say that the 500 Hz - 900 Hz range for my iCW Regneration box is probably about right. It's based on the…"
THE MOST COMMON PITCH FOR COPYING CW
"I like around 550 Hz.
higher frequencies look like "children shouting" to me! Additionally I read that any difference in tone (used to separate signals) is far more appreciated by human ears at low frequency.
I very rarely go above 600…"
Regenerative CW
Hi,I read with interest Joe KF7CX article about regenarative CW.I struggled a little bit to find out all about circuitry, but finally I think i have a good idea of how to build a complete interface.I have a small question about the Youtube demonstration : there is a pot to vary sidetone frequency, and you can hear it very well on the video audio. But Hipermite is a very narrow and fixed frequency... So is this pot really usable?Thanks for advice.Gerard F6EEQSee More
