Hello all,
today i was very happy to sit on top of F/AM-761 at 2774m asl.
I have been very disapointed when my “code-cube” and keyer did not work any more!
I had to found a piece of wire to make a keyer and start calling CQ with this (not so good) solution.
I know it was very bad to listen, but i did not want to come back without any single QSO, to please the chasers.
I had 29 contact any way; thanks very much all chasers.

I say well done Gerald. That can give “Fly-By-Wire” an entirely new meaning.

Hi Gerald
A well done to you for carrying on due to problems, sadly one station did comment on your sending, I still say well done, and carry on and ignore silly comments.

Congrats, Gerald for your very successfull activation in a beautiful area after having brilliantly improvised a great solution to the out of service keyer problem. Very well done!
Your hand straight keying was very good and I was delighted to chase you on QRP 5w with my endfed antenna in the balcoby of our new flat QTH.
Thanks for sharing with us the pictures of such beautiful scenery.
