Conditions were marginal. SSN = 105, SFI = 227, A = 21, K
= 4. The band was OK. I did get a couple of spots in
Europe on RBN.
I will be doing another CW on the air practice session
Saturday?
01/18/25 . 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:
Date - Saturday 01/18/25
Time - 8:00 AM Eastern Time / 13:00 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.
Reply to this email if you have questions.
