Well, I made four contacts tonight–two on 20m and two on 40m. (I called CQ on 30m for a while, but without success.)
The two QSOs on 20 were with stations in FL and TX. The two Qs on 40m, though, were with two Europeans: G3WOE and IK5SRD. And in both cases, they responded to my CQ.
The G3 QSO is a cool one because his callsign spells word, and I can hopefully add his card to my collection. The IK5 QSO was cool because he was running a K1 or K2 (I didn’t quite copy the number) at only 5W.

I do enjoy your blog and the occasional items that appear. Are you on CW? Tks John

Thanks for your kind words, John.
I’d say at least 95% of my HF contacts are CW contacts. I’m on 40m just about every day. I’ll be listening for you there.

Did you ever get the QSL card?

Oh, WOE is me. I still haven’t received your card, Michael. :)
