On 1/3/25 I had a CW practice / rag chew session on 40 meters. I worked only one station:

Date / Time	Call	Bnd	Frequency	Comments		Mode	Name	Power	Rec	Snt	SPC#
1/3/2025 14:58	KE8TBM	40	7.038	Ten Tec Triton IV at 75 watts 100 ft slopped doublet		CW	Fred	75	579	579	OH

Conditions were poor. SSN = 173, SFI = 212, A = 22, K = 2 so the band was pretty noisy.

I will be doing another CW on the air practice session Saturday 01/04/25 . 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 - 30 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.

Reply to this email if you have questions.
