George Pig enters chat

‘Ye’ as second person plural is very much a thing in Ireland, especially in the west, as in “Are ye going out tonight”.

What do you call a man with a seagull on his head?

Sigh… Here we go again… unzips

“That mask really suits you”

Question though? Why did they get rid of sms functionality?

Easter Island from Ireland, 100w CW on 20m.

Still haven’t gotten into VK or ZL yet though

Yes, but kind of no.

I love the pile up when working SSB, in CW it’s all about the chat.

Also, bedtime in our house tends to be the same time as a lot of the 1 hour contests.

SOTA/POTA: yep, although I’ve not done any yet, it is something I want to have a go at

For me it was self study to begin with. I was lucky to have a lot of time during covid andade use of that by delving into lcwo.net. passed my telegraphist exam before I got my license. Eaier this year I got into a CWops intermediate class and found the peer-pressure/friendly-competition aspectgreat for helping me improve.

Since that, it’s just been making QSOs and gradually increasing my speed. I’m ragchewing comfortably at 20wpm now, but setting my keyer between 22-25, to push my comfort zone.
