With CW, you will put out a Big signal with very little power.

Mobile HF CW
Reality Check – How do you copy CW while driving?
Mobile HF CW
If you can copy without writing things down (head copy), you can do this.
Mobile HF CW
Get on the air and operate. Listen to a mp3 player while doing other
activities MorseGen converts txt files to cw CW Freak
Mobile HF CW
Besides, copying the code isn’t the problem.
Mobile HF CW
The key to operating mobile CW is the location of the “key” (or paddles).

Start out by operating at home until you can copy the code in your head.
Listen to CD’s or an MP3 player in the car.
Install your radio and just listen. Listen some more… Look for me on the bottom end of 20…
