Apparently I forgot to share this story from last weekend's ARRL #VHF #hamradio #contest

I was trying to work Tom (AC1J) ~70km north of us on 1.2GHz. 10W and a discone antenna wasn't enough for SSB. We could both hear a voice in the noise, but not enough to log it. Unsurprisingly, Tom suggested Morse code. I told him that we didn't have a key at the station (we all forgot to bring it) but that I could on-off key an FM carrier using the foot switch.

2 minutes later, I had him in the log :D
