Soooooon

I went for a nice after work #POTA activation in the Stadtpark in Hamburg yesterday. Worked 20 stations on 18, 21 and 28Mhz. All were #morse code #cw contacts. It's nice that is is bright out for longer after the switch to daylight savings time.

Speaking of Morse Code

dit-dit-dit dit-dit-dit dah!

45 minute reminder.

Just published pre-release 1.14.0-1 of the most awesomest Morse trainer ever, Dahdidahdit.
Please give it a try and report issues back to me, should you find any. Which you won't because it's so awesome.
New features are improved theme, improved USB paddle supporting VBand adapter, and some bugs fixed. Did I say "bugs"? I meant unwanted features.

And yes, I did have too much coffee this morning. Why you asking?

I had a chance to get on VBAND earlier. It's fun to practice on other humans. *very* different than the perfect timing of computer generated CW.

As I tuned in, one station was trying hard and kind of melted down. I admire that strength so much! The more mistakes they made the more I wanted to cheer them along. Welcome to the journey, intrepid ham!

I'm not much of a contester personally, but I have a soft spot for #SST. While it's technically a "contest", it feels more like "slow down and encourage newcomers to try #CW". The first time I ever got on the air and tried #morse was for SST a few weeks ago.

Too bad I don't have a permanent antenna install, so can rarely dive in. Maybe I'll monitor using a web SDR.

This is a long winded reminder that SST kicks off in about 2 hours.

Besides, it has the coolest sounding CQ call!

If you're in Portland, OR and interested in Morse Code, there will be a presentation by an international champion high speed telegrapher at 6 PM on March 6 at Lewis & Clark College. Contact me for details.

I discovered VBAND today. This is a #CW QSO over the internet website. No special software required. I'm a complete embarrassment, but it's cool that the humans on the other end are extremely patient. The "get on the air to get good" approach works for me.

If you too are thinking of jumping in to the fray and making a hash of things, highly recommended. 5 of 5 stars!

For me, who doesn't have a permanent antenna setup, this is a great way to practice.

I had this delightful baby iambic key arrive this week via AliExpress. It’s not going to win any contests, but it was something affordable to dip my toes into the iambic key waters.

So far I am really impressed as it brings timing consistency to my CW where I might have been considered a bit all over the place on a straight key. Much easier on the hand too.
