don't forget the qsos will count for the grid exploration program if you get a
qsl card from that rusty keyer.
Also, note that cn76 wil be added to oregon, it was thought to be inacessable
(in oregon) but I was wrong.
However it can be road blocked during high winds/ storms, no point being washed
off the spit for a qso.
Happy new year. I usually don't do straight key night because the term
"straight" key is politically incorrect and not all inclusive.
The term discriminates against my commodore 64 based computer CW interface. I
will be available for PSK 13, the old C-64 is too slow for psk 31. All Qsos
will be recorded on my cassette tape-drive.
