Not good down here in FL, saw you move to 105 area but that didn’t help either. Sent my Call once and decided that it wasn’t going to work today.

All others, note that Ham Alert will follow a Call no matter where he goes and send you a message to that effect.

Maybe next time?

Please note this is not a daily event. It is not a weekly event. In fact there is no fixed schedule. I choose the date, time, band based on my own availability. When a time slot opens in my life, I will schedule a CW Practice / Rag chew session. It could be any day and any time. Just look for my announcements for the details. (note no practice sessions this weekend FOOTBALL)

GM Ed,

This sounds like a great idea, I will attempt to join in from Florida, QRP on a piece of wire?

I have your Call setup in Ham Alert so I will at least know where you are. 30m is usually fairly quiet so here’s hoping !!

Re: CW Practice / Rag chew on Friday

 

I'm no novitiate (licensed in 1953), but the message isn't lost on me, either. When my current project is done, I hope to spend more time operating. I really enjoy CW with beginners and remember how patient other hams were with me when I started out, blazing long at (maybe) 4WPM. I'm trying to do a payback as time permits.

BTW, it 8° here this morning!
