Had to program an F key saying my call was VE9DX and not FX or TX.
Good to see other VE9's on but maybe a call change is in order...!
Always happy to QSY to other bands on request.
TX: 30 watts to a vertical.
As always Writelog worked flawlessly.

Very poor propagation this year. Good thing we had another amateur activity lined up--- we held an ARRL VE exam session during the same day. Do we get some points for this?? Just kidding ;) Read More

I had a blast. I did this on a whim. Drug out the ol' radio shack key.
This is the same key that I learned on as a high school kid. I made ten Q's. It took about 19 hours of intermittant operating. But, I did get 9 different states in those 10 Q's.

I couldn't find my straight key, so I got on using my Bencher paddles. Hopefully I can find the key for next year...
I managed a single QSO with a new friend, KA0WWV, and we chatted for about 1/2 hour. Nice to hear the CW bands active on New Years Eve. Read More
