Conditions were OK. SSN = 176, SFI = 169, A = 20, K = 3.
The band seemed good.
I will be doing another CW on the air practice session in
the next few days . 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 - TBD
Band - TBD 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.
