Gm Dan Good day to play radio!! 72 Johnny AC0BQ -- QRP....."more smiles per watt"

Getting freezing rain in central IL today. I couldn't get out of my driveway to get to work. Wind is picking up now. Hopefully it will get in the 30's as they forecast. 73 Dan --

I wasn't QRP either this time. I'm field testing some new K3 and their high power antenna tuner firmware in the contest so I was actually running 600 watts at the time. Having fun playing with the

You are correct Jim, It is the ARRL DX contest; what fun! unc Phil.

That is always cool! I remember the first time I experienced that I was loading up a linear on 15 to do some RTTY back in the day and was quite amazed. And of coarse it came back a few Hz down. Never

Rick, Make that four cents. There once was the long dash (not a 'T') as a substitute for zero but if you don't use a straight key or a bug you're out of luck sending one of those. Most of the time

First time in long time to get checked in and on the air period. My ham shack has been mostly non-operational for quite a while and I am gradually getting things cleaned up again. I echo that thanks

IMHO one should probably avoid the more obscure shortcuts. N for 9 is pretty common, but I would honestly not know any of the rest of them and I am guessing a lot of other operators out there won't
