Well, for the past 24 hours, I have been masquerading as KN0WCW.
KN0WCW is the callsign, appropriately enough, of the Fists CW Club. I operated for approximately two and a half hours, making 12 contacts in 10 states. All of my contacts were on 40m, as that was the most appropriate band at the times I was on.
It was a lot of fun. Two of the 12 stations I’d worked before, one of them many times. He was quite surprised to hear that it was me using the Fists call. Conversely, I was quite surprised to find out that he was a Fists member. In the dozen or so previous QSOs, he’d never mentioned it, and I had never asked.
I would encourage all Fists members to take a turn as KN0WCW. Not only was it fun, but it does promote Fists and the use of CW.
