Hans…
I’m sorry but I agree with Bob K3UL, perhaps we should stop the whining about lack of CW and get on the band !

If I look at my log for the 2 months since August, I have SM4DHF X13  QSOs, SM5EDX X5, SM2EKM X2, SM2LIY X2, SM7BIC X2.
SM6CVX zero QSOs.  I doesn't seem like everyone in Sweden has gone QRT ???

Have you been QRV at all yet???
