If you haven't done so already, check out the free program called Morse
Runner. It is primarily for contest training, but a lot of fun for learning
what it's like to be on the air...especially when you let the program
simulate QSB, QRM and multiple stations caling.

I would also suggest making a few contacts with POTA stations. The format is
rather "standardized" and as a hunter, you are very limited to what you have
to send, once you hear your call come back from the activator...just send
them a signal report and 2-letter state abbreviation and you're all set!

If you ever hear me (KB2IOF), I'd be glad to work you!

73,

I'll take a look at that program.

Thanks Jerry.

I'm going to get a keyer. .. Dang a lot of them are expensive, more so than I
thought they would be. I'll get a decent $100 keyer. I've been waiting for an
MFJ that was about $50, but its a little larger than I wanted for hiking. I
found what looks like a nice key on ebay, and it should last for several years.

Morse runner is a really good program. Highly recommended.

I've got a few keyers of various types. I picked up the Vibroplex code
warrior junior for like $100. I think it's $120 now. I think it's fantastic
for the money, though maybe a little too light of a base.
