CWONDR, another Morse/CW project // 18-7-14

  In the past years, I've been asked less and less what I'd wish for
  birthday (coming soon), probably because I've always replied "nothing I
  can think of" in recent years. This has changed, but nobody can give me
  what I wish for, because it does not exist, AFAIK.

  I want a low-power, pocket-sized CW transceiver for the 430 MHz (70 cm)
  band, and I want it for all radio amateurs who love Morse code. It
  would be kind of CW fan's cellphone, except without cells, because it's
  meant for direct contacts of course. This _must_ be possible, but it
  looks like nobody is selling it. Therefore I've decided to start my own
  project, clumsily named [1]CWONDR as git repository. It's mainly just a
  wishlist, for now.

  In addition, after years of hesitation (procrastination?) I finally
  managed to apply for membership in the [2]Helvetia Telegraphy Club, in
  the hope of finding like-minded people, also for my other Morse project
  called [3]AMBroS which is in state of infancy since about fifteen
  years. Yeah, what a shame!

  I guess I'm starting to be old enough to sense the looming end of my
  presence on Earth, but if this fear finally gets me moving my a.. it's
  welcome! ^-^
