The Paragon doesn't have a built-in keyer (like the IC-751A it replaced is equipped with) so I'm going to cable up a KAM and a CW-75 to it then see what I can work. Anyone else participating?

That's that annoying beeping shit, isn't it? :hand: ;)

ETA: At least the phone sections will be wide open..... and dead. :roll:

I might surf the cluster later and cherry pick a few. Meanwhile my daughter and I were at the store last night and got some ammo and paper targets for her pellet pistol and we're going to do some shooting. Later today there is a dutch oven cooking demonstration at the State Park that she and my wife are going to attend. Good luck in the contest. Who's turn is it to start a thread on another site bitching about it?

Steve sort of took care of it already (http://forums.qrz.com/showthread.php?347467-There-goes-the-bands-WPX-CW!!!).

There's never much of a BitchFest when there's a CW contest, only the phone ones. :chin:

Tom's day sounds like more fun than mine. I might hit a buddy up later and see if he wants to take his new Henry carbine to our shooting club for a few hours.

Golden Boy in 357 Mag.

He went this morning at 9:30. Way too early for me.
