[Fourlanders] FW: MS Sked W2SZ - W4NH for June Contest

[S Kosmetatos]

Well, I was hoping I could get on the WSJT track and be able to offer that
as my contribution to the effort, but I haven't been able to pull it off
time-wise, even though I started investing in the equipment. Maybe I can do
still do so later on. 

As for the CW, I worked through the 13 wpm to get my general, and then
promptly dropped it. I had absolutely no intention of ever using it and
considered it a barrier to entry at the time. Based on the VHF contesting, I
can see the value of it, but I now think it's too late to salvage any
remaining dits and dah's in my stack.

Kos,
N4NIA

I am an extra and passed a 13 WPM test in front of an FCC examiner, when I
was 15!  You all know what my CW skill level is now.  If you don't use it
you loose it.

I thought it was strange myself......and he even used the CW "sri" in his
response !! ??  The guy is an Advanced Class licensee which means he passed
his 13 WPM Morse test at some time in his career........

So, I don't know.

Am I missing something, or did it also look like there was some
typing/spelling trouble with that answer from the W2SZ op'?

Just asking...
