- Am using an MJF-564 paddle since I do not have enough nerve to do CW on the fly and do stop the truck. Wish I felt confident enough to do CW on the fly, but just a wimp I guess. -jim, K4CFA (PS: Any

- I have a total of 2-1/2 days' cw mobile in 2000 when I drove from Dallas-Ft. Worth to the Baltimore-Washington area. It was fun, though I only had 20 or so QSOs. Copying in your head is a must, but a

- Try a short ride in the country-side, lesser traffic distraction and practice RX. Then graduate to sending keeping qso's short. Soon it'll be second nature. I use a dictating machine entering basic d

- And probably no one can do it safely, unless you pull off to the side of the road. As much fun as mobile CW might be, I'm not sure I want to be driving in the immediate vicinity of anyone actually e

- I don't think I'd say "no one;" apparently we're all different. I used to play Classical Guitar (before a hand injury...) and was amazed that I simply never could get the hang of talking while I play

- I started mobile cw some years back. The first few days were kinda dangerous -scary. I found myself swerving a bit and wandering. After that, cw was incredible - mobile, easy, safe, 2nd nature, and w

- If it distracts you from driving, it isn't safe. I can't imagine how it would not do that. We also mostly tend to think we're invulnerable anyway, and that it's the other guy that has a problem, but

- I can not going to operate CW in a moving car! In Wash. DC it is a fine for anyone caught using a cell phone even if you are using a cable in your radio and a ear plug in your ear! I will drive to a

- You are right Grant, safety is a BIG concern, just as it is on cell phones and FM repeater operation. The secret to safety in mobile CW is being able to comfortably copy IN YOUR HEAD, rather than on

- I guess I agree with you to a certain degree, Grant, but I have found that if one limits one's use of cw/m to interstate highway type use, I believe it is pretty safe. I've been doing it for years, a

- I have to also say that safety is really key here. When I am driving, if I get involved in a really technical discussion with a passenger (I'm an engineer, sad to say :) ) I can easily get so deeply
