Mudge, I'm still pretty rusty and clumsy (and, according to Snow
White, I'm also Sleepy, Dopey, and Grouchy), but I'm having a flat ton
of FUN using CW on HF again. I managed a couple of dozen contacts on
CW this weekend; I didn't manage any really great DX, but I worked a
nice handful of countries I had never before worked on CW, among them,
Asiatic Russia, Nigeria, and Zimbabwe. Sure had a good time!

Radio in general - my pacemaker just can not stand it !

:-> Sorry, OM! :-)

I'll be considerate and not tell you that 15m sounded pretty quiet
last night, for the most part. There's some big group operating as
PJ4C and I worked them just for fun. Tuned around a little more and
worked the group from Nauru, C21HA, for a new country. :-> The
Pacific is probably easier for you in Calgary, but it's always fun for
me! But I won't tell you about that, because I'm considerate. ;-)

I would cry - but it's too damned cold for tears !
