Spending some much needed time with my #Vibroplex #vibroplexbug hunting #morsecode #cw #amateurradio #hamradio #pota #parksontheair activators from my using #tentec #OmniD 746
Who brings a bug up a summit FA? K6ARK does! https://www.youtube.com/shorts/bIMCh4b6P_g
I discovered 4 things today :
1) Using a #CW bug is not easy.
2) But setting a bug is easy once you understand what to do, and in what order.
3) Adding weight to reduce the speed also make the adjustment slightly more difficult.
4) My first impression is that the #Vibroplex #6 "Lightning" (1950) is incredibly smooth.
Smoother than the Japanese Hi-Mound "BK-100" (2 of them, of different vintage) and the French "Vibro Mors".
