KE0FFT<p>So far tonight - just in my spare moments at home (trying for new countries, not a score) - I’ve added the Cayman Islands, the Canary Islands and Bulgaria to my list of international Morse code contacts. <a href="https://mastodon.hams.social/tags/arrlDXcontest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>arrlDXcontest</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.hams.social/tags/ARRL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ARRL</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.hams.social/tags/ARRLcontest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ARRLcontest</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.hams.social/tags/CWcontest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CWcontest</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.hams.social/tags/MorseCode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MorseCode</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.hams.social/tags/hamr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hamr</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.hams.social/tags/HamRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HamRadio</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.hams.social/tags/AmateurRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AmateurRadio</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.hams.social/tags/HamRadioContest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HamRadioContest</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.hams.social/tags/RadioAmateur" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RadioAmateur</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.hams.social/tags/KE0FFT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KE0FFT</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.hams.social/tags/KE0FFTcw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KE0FFTcw</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.hams.social/tags/KE0FFTcontest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KE0FFTcontest</span></a></p>

KE0FFT<p>Added Curaçao to my list of countries contacted via ham radio tonight. Just a brief contact in Morse code. I believe it’s my first and only international contact using Morse. </p><p>Freq: 7.0289MHz ~ Dist: Approx. 2179mi / 3507km <a href="https://mastodon.hams.social/tags/KE0FFT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KE0FFT</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.hams.social/tags/KE0FFTcw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KE0FFTcw</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.hams.social/tags/KE0FFTqsos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KE0FFTqsos</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.hams.social/tags/KE0FFT40m" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KE0FFT40m</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.hams.social/tags/ke0fftDX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ke0fftDX</span></a></p>
KE0FFT<p>I’m going to try to get through this book in <a href="https://mastodon.hams.social/tags/MorseCode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MorseCode</span></a> before I listen to the audio narration. </p><p>I was offered a free copy of the audiobook by the author. Kind of cool in a nerdy kind of way. I likely wouldn’t have paid for something like this; but who knows, maybe the stories will be interesting enough to get me practicing copying <a href="https://mastodon.hams.social/tags/CW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CW</span></a> enough to improve my speed a bit. </p><p>I wonder how long it will take me to get through this set of mysteries.

KE0FFT<p>Memories: “On Sunday I was out playing radio for Winter Field Day. Learned a few things about setting up gear &amp; what I need to bring next time &amp; what I don’t. Also made my mandatory one Morse Code contact (actually another guy using low power in another Illinois state park about 150mi away). I did get through to a guy in Georgia who was able to come back with my callsign, but we weren’t able to confirm the contact due to atmos. Not bad for 5 watts and a wire!” ~ Feb 2nd, 2022 <a href="https://mastodon.hams.social/tags/KE0FFT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KE0FFT</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.hams.social/tags/KE0FFTcw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KE0FFTcw</span></a></p>
KE0FFT<p>Just worked K3Y/8 from my home QTH of Olney, IL.
