Great quote!<\/p>\n<p>I recently read this <a href=\"http:\/\/wa5ica.us\/\">blog<\/a> &#8211; from it&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/wa5ica.us\/archives\/000065.html\">first entry<\/a> back in Jan 2004 up to today&#8217;s.   Right off the bat, the blog looks cool.  I like the MFJ-564B paddle as the background image.  The QSL cards stacked along the right side are very cool.  I enjoy the blog&#8217;s focus.  Michael, WA5ICA, also only operates CW.  He starts his blog adventure with two MFJ QRP rigs (15M and 20M) and operates from his truck.<br \/>\n<center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/wa5ica.us\/archives\/DSC02065-thumb.jpg\" \/><\/center><br \/>\n  It is interesting to see his operations and equipment change over time (participating in contests from the driveway, trying different CW keys, getting a new rig, new antenna).  I invite you to start from the <a href=\"http:\/\/wa5ica.us\/archives\/000065.html\">first post<\/a> and work your way forward, I think you&#8217;ll consider it time well spent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is a great ham webpage.
