Staff meeting canceled this morning—therefore a perfect excuse to run out to the parking lot for a little #cwt action. #cwops #cw

As near a /mm grid line as you can get—scored Jim Clary at FK01 on AO-7 CW; he told me to wait a second, then gave me FK00. #fortunefavorsthelucky yes I use a tripod for CW—not enough hands otherwise with manual tuning.

Wow. That was a CW dogpile on RS-44. Got me to wondering if DX rovers would do well to operate split like on HF. Seems feasible on V/u CW. Spread the callers out while the DX can tune his RX around the passband.

Didn't even realize until just now that WAS CW Satellite was even a thing; but lo and behold I'm on my way. Another goal to occupy my time while in pursuit of Gridmaster. Thanks Jim Clary for giving me a reason to dust off the space paddles!

Bilingual US-Mexico CAS-4B QSO with @XE1HG — not bilingual like you’re thinking though. Bert was #CW and I was SSB. #AMSAT

CW was alive and well for me in tonight's #CWOps #CWT. Barefoot into a low doublet, from DL99. 40m especially was wall-to-wall Morse.

All kids like to hear their names tapped out in Morse. Yours truly manning the ham radio exhibit at #FortClarkDays here in DL99. #LasMorasARC
