I just went on qrz and did the bio. It is actually my daughter. She is the
background for my qsl card once it is done. Just passed the morse code test
last week so I have been doing calls /AG. Hopefully this week the database
will reflect my new license so I can stop with the "alpha golf" Thanks for the
tips. I may just go with a 1/4 wave whip for the time being so I can have
something in the car. I have an IC-718 for a base rig with a dipole in the
attic for 40-10m. The problem with the htx-10 is the fact there is not cw
capability. I read a thread in the past that showed how to make one. Maybe
I'll look that up again as I had not been able to use the radio until now.

Thanks
