It's why I'm trying to be comfortable with a sideswiper.

I really need to work on my rhythm and spacing. It gets harder the worst my RA gets. I'm probably coming to the end of using a straight key. 1977-2026 (if it happens) is a damn good run.

😁

At least, I'm being heard. 👀😁

6 Total CW contacts. SKCC, and POTA. The band conditions were not great at all. 😢

Your hand position should always be comfortable. This is what works best for me.

Excellent!

And so do you. 😘

12 Total CW, POTA, and SKCC. My hand gave out. Rheumatoid Arthritis sucks.

Sad

😁

RTTY is starting to aggravate me. They just spread out wherever they feel like it. 😡

I'm practicing with the cootie key again. I feel like a left-handed monkey in a right-handed circus.

😁

Another piece of paper to stare at. I received my USA 250 award.

Better than zero. 😘

I'm in full listening mode. 😁

Not I.

I need to put more effort into making more SKCC contacts. I lock in on different CW chases every day. Plus, l could use the straight key practice.

The bands went poof!

Howdy!

1 CW contact. The bands didn't do me any favors. I gave up. 😪

Just didn't feel like it. 🤷🏽‍♂️

That's better than 21st.

I didn't do any digital today.
7 CW
4 SSB

The bands were like wrestling a bear naked. Lucky with these:
2 CW
20 FT8
7 DX

You can never have enough.

21 Contacts today. CW, FT4, FT8, and SSB. (6 DX)

Go get 'em!
