CC Available for Morse code training. This was the maiden voyage for my new (to me) 4-band Elecraft KX1 and KXPD1 paddles in cootie mode. It was also by first use of a home-brew EFHW transformer using an FT82-43 toroid wound 49:1 (21x3) in a prescription bottle. I also used a SotaBeams Laserbeam DSP filter with an LM386 audio amplifier. I had a spotting problem that made for slow going until I discovered and resolved it.
