Soap: In last January's event I had 4 Q's with a straight key; August
was 60 with borrowed paddles. My minimum goal this time with a keyer
was 200 and 250 would make me ecstatic. I'm happy with my results -
even had a best 'last ten' of 47 and a few in the 40s. I'm not running
with the big dawgs yet, but I can see where they're going. A couple
more years of practice, patience and perseverance and I will be there.
Hey, 5 years ago BC (before contesting) I never thought I would want to
get into CW. Many thanks to the responses to QRS -- still got to work
on that 'tin' CW ear.
Twilight zone: Being a flat-lander from Illinois, I was really in my
element wearing my insulated coveralls and jacket walking in the snow in
sub-freezing temperatures running radials for the inverted L -- BUT --
this is Alabama!!! I guess this explains why it took me 4.5 hours to
drive 21 miles home from work Friday night.
Y'know - I'm beginning to LIKE this CW stuff.
