Did not do very well but CW is not really my thing. I stumble through 15 wpm and have to listen to stations @ 25+ wpm about 10 times before I am able to get their call correct prior to responding. However I like 160m very much and find it to be a challenge to continue to improve on my antennas for transmit and receive and hopefully one day I can get that DXCC Phone on 160m that is a goal of mine.

Thanks to all those that offered advice and technical info on trying to interface N1MM+ Logger with CWKeyCmd ... I did not get it to work like I wanted so I had to rely mainly on my ear since the filters in SSB (DATA) do not have the selectivity that the filters in CW mode do.

`73,

Hello all:

First I must apologize for my silence for the last month.  I have been 
sending out weekly score reports since about 1995, but the last month I 
just haven't had time to do it.  Sorry and will get back to it soon.

See message below about our SECC-sponsored plaque for NAQP.  I will send 
N9QQ my check for $60.00.  The first five of you what volunteer to send 
me your check for $10.00 will fund the plaque for the club, which has no 
treasury funds.  Thanks for your help on this.  I'll send out a list of 
the first five, so you will know no more sponsors are needed.

Speaking of NAQP, they are coming up in January.  Please be thinking of 
your participation and we will try to get up some single operator teams 
for each mode.  If someone other than myself will volunteer to get up 
and register the teams, please let me know.  Otherwise, let me know if 
you can participate and I'll register the teams.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

73, John, K4BAI.

Hi all,

I am putting together the 2016 plaque order.  Please send a check for
the 2016 plaque sponsorship for your respective clubs.  It is $90 per
plaque.  Craig, for the CW Ops that is 5x$90.

Also, please let me know if your clubs plan to continue sponsorship in 2017.

Thanks, and happy holidays.

Vr, Brian

K9QQ

Thanks to N4XL for promptly being our first volunteer sponsor.

I should have sent my mail address for the checks:

Send to John Laney, PO Box 421, Columbus, GA  31902-0421.

73, John.
