I copied today's #Morsle at 40 WPM! https://morsle.fun
Speaking #morse: don't forget the UBA DX CW Contest this coming weekend.
All works all, 24h, 5 #hfbands, focus on Belgium and EU.

How's it going with #cqcontest in #rtty you ask? Even if you don't ask, I gonna tell anyway.
Usually I do fast snappy CW contesting. RTTY is soooo slloooowww.
Usually I have a beefy kW amp running. I decided to go barefoot, rig at 90W out. Moohahaaa...
Usually the yagi is between 15m and 21m AGL. I left the tower down so the tribander sits only 8m high.
'nuff said?
And I worked 11 Dutch(wo)men in the #pacc contest on 28MHz.
Support the ham radio contest scene!

#Morsle will have to wait.
Business before pleasure: the EU DX Contest.
Just dabbling around on the higher #hfbands.
Doing real CW a/k/a #morsecode.
The tower is not cranked up. With the #yagiantenna only 9m above the ground, EU is rather loud compared to when it's 21m up...
#cqcontest !!!

130-140 CW QSO on 160m in one hour. #cqcontest !
Unruly EU callers were causing QRM by not listening - or not copying? Should I recommend #morsle? Anyway this slowed me down big time.
I decided to listen 250Hz up so the snappy operators could outsmart the outgunners. A bunch of S9+++ on one frequency makes a mess.
Most important show prop for today: a box of paper tissues. SNØT and CØLD are active!
This afternoon: UBA DX SSB. Ouch SSB. But it's our national contest so I'd better show up...
Daily #morsle now in hard mode and switched to callsigns for a change.
Next: get out and put up 80m antenna for this weekend's UBA DX SSB contest and 160m wire for CQWW 160CW.
Look for OQ5M and #cqcontest !
En números, al menos, buenas condiciones en la banda de 10 metros. Se nota, también, la influencia del #ARRL10m Contest.
Un día para estar atento y, aquellos que se animen, probar un poco cacharros... #propagacion #hamradio #amateurradio #radioaficion #CQContest

Going to bed for tonight. So far in #cqwwssb I am at 195 QSOs, 41 unique DXCC. Not bad for 100W and a wire. Most QSOs have come on 10m, then 15m, then 20m, and a handful on 40m. Highlight so far was JT5DX on 20m. #cqcontest #againagain #youre59irepeat59
