Good job, Ed.
From coastal TX I saw RBN spots but none reaching this far south.? Hopefully the unsettled Geo will settle by 1/3/25.??

On 1/2/25 I had a CW practice / rag chew
session on 40 meters. I worked three stations:
Conditions were very poor. SSN = 163, SFI = 219, A = 86, K = 5
so the band was pretty noisy.
I will be doing another CW on the air practice session Friday
01/03/25 . Anyone is welcome. This practice is intended
for operators who are new to CW or they need some practice. IT
DOES NOT MATTER HOW POOR YOUR CW IS. Mistakes are OK. Poor fists
are OK. Slow speed is OK. Really slow speed is OK. This practice
is meant for you to improve your CW. I will do my best to adjust
to your skill level. Operate at any power level. If several
stations show up, I will operate as a round-table control
station. I will do it as a round-table so everyone gets a chance
to transmit. Please listen to my directions.
Details:
Time - 10:00 AM Eastern Time / 15:00 UTC
Band - 40 Meters
How to find me - I will find a clear frequency and call CQ. Go
to the Reverse Beacon Network and search for my call sign AB8DF.
That will tell you what frequency I am on.
Tune your station to that frequency and if you hear me give me a
call. If there is a QSO in progress, please wait for a break in
the action. Then send your callsign. If I hear you, I will
invite you to join the QSO and start a round-table QSO.
