Tam Have you determined that the radio puts out the same power on SSB
Tam (whistle) as when you tune up (on CW?) ?

Jack No, but I'm not really concerned about SSB versus CW -- I'll
Jack operate CW if that's what it takes, and it'll be incentive to
Jack finally learn.

Tam That's what I am concerened about. You may have a bad mic, or
Tam just not modulating due to some failure. When I wasn't able to
Tam get out, I could alwayds talk to locals. Try CW/carrier with your
Tam friend.

I've tried just keying up and I could be heard a mile away, but not
twenty.

Tam He doesn't have to know CW if you are on the phone and he
Tam knows your frequency. I would do it on 10m, away from anybody
Tam else. You know you can get 20 miles on CB with 5W, and you have
Tam 100.

Excellent point.
