Thanks, Ed. I will continue to practice this week and plan to be back next week for another go.This 80yr old brain doesn't work as fast as it used to. Also, next time, I'll bump up the power. Today I was running only 5w. 73 Jon K4CIH
On 1/10/25 I had a CW practice / rag

I will be doing another CW on the air practice session next
week after I recover from football bingeing . 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
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.
