Putzing around at the KU station tomorrow, will be QRV @ 30-35 wpm as KU0K. Just doing a few hours, busy weekend over here. Cross your fingers for a 15m opening!

CW? That's that funny "beeping" thing, isn't it? :yuck:

Pass. :hand:

Got tons to do around the house... only have half the garden planted, outlaws coming over for a cookout, and I have an intermittant in the vertical coax to track down.

But I'll do what I can.

Besides, I need to work the E4

The carping about it has already started elsewhere.

Meanwhile, the 'phone portions of the band are surprisingly devoid of traffic. As are the WARC bands.

Imagine that.

For the first time ever, I wish I was setup to do keyboard CW. That right hand is wiggling more every day, but not good enough for paddles yet.

Even gentle squeezing hurts.

The stupidity continues over yonder, championed by the channelized SSTV crowd.

And 'SF hands 'em all a nice big glass of STFU.

I see where KYV came in with his standard 40m agenda in tow.

And Charles ('PVL) trundled his out as well.

Was it just me or did the Zed seem a whole lot quieter and peaceful during his ban?

Meaning no disrespect to Generals: In a way, I can see where Charles is coming from. He doesn't have access to the lower half of the "prime" phone bands. And when the contesters roll into town, "strapping bigger" than he can...there's nothing left for him to do but shut the radio off and go cuss Winlink out.

On the other hand...there is simply no excuse for the whiny-assed Extras.

I see what you did. :lol:
Allow me to postulate that WINLINK has worked hard at earning the ire of many. They should never be denied the fruit of their labor.
While Charles's position reeks more of a long-time digital feud gone bad, his relentless butt-hurt requires him to say some things that need to be said more often.

WINLINK. I hates 'em.

That makes several of us. One wonders when (not "if") their operation will be viewed as a common carrier by the FCC - and thus subject the sysops to some rather unsavory and onerous regulations.

But the answer is probably "never", as long as the ARRL is championing that style of operation.

OK, back on track...

Deal me in...but condx SUCK.
There is a magnetic storm afoot, and it sure is messing things up.

10 and 15 have been all but DEAD, 20 STINKETH due to the mag storm
and 40 SHOULD wake up in an hour or two.

So much for beating last years score !!!!!!

Ended up using NQ0K up at the station, made 200 contacts in 2 hours. Only peaked at 130/hr (per 10 minute analysis) but my lowest rate was only 70/hr. Twenty was rocking then tapered off, was operating from 11:30 to 1:30 approximately.

Anyone besides me feel that Charles is well on his way to another ban?

And there's plenty of space above .050 of each band. I'm hearing a goodly amount of PSK on 14.070 and vicinity. Seems those who want a "guaranteed frequency" blew smoke yet again... :roll:

I personally feel that if Jimbo (not you, '3N) keeps up the way he has been in that thread he's going to stroke out or blow a friggin' gasket. :cry:

Some people don't know when to quit.
