I got out the old MFJ paddle, reversed the leads, and had my first CW qso
with the TS570.
Worked KD9CK (Mike) in St. Charles, IL. He gave me a solid 599, and said
the rig sounds great.
Worked him with 100 watts on my trusty Alpha Delta DXCC antenna.
So, it looks like I have a winner here from the local estate sale.
Next, I want to try it out on SSB.
