"I'm not a contester..."
Narrator: He was back on the air 12 hours later... 😇
Did another attempt this morning and pushed my HA-station stats. I'm now at 90% of HA counties (only 2 missing) 🇭🇺📈

Jumped into the HA-DX Contest today for a quick sprint. I decided to cherry-pick only the Hungarian stations and managed a surprisingly good distribution - covered about 65% of the HA counties in just one hour! 🇭🇺📻
While the "search & pounce" was fun for that time, the novelty wears off quickly for me. I don't have the mindset to keep doing this repetitively - I'm definitely not a contester. 😜

Pardon the noise! 🚧 I decided it was time for a hard reset. I’ve wiped the slate clean and am rebuilding the site (https://dg5cw.darc.de/) from the ground up. 'Morse News' is already live, but the rest is currently under construction. Stay tuned—things are going to be changing fast...

📢 New home alert! My "Morse Code News" has officially migrated to dg5cw.darc.de (scroll down or use the left menu).
You can now grab every speed in two flavors: clean (crisp audio) or QRN (with that authentic noise), plus the full transcript. Just a heads-up: the content is mostly German now.
Happy decoding! 🎧⚡
AGCW DTC - The conditions (local and band) weren't ideal for the DTC contest, 🥴 but I managed a result that covered nearly all parts of Germany, running 75W to a 10m vertical. ☺️
Want to guess the direction a big house was blocking my signal? 🧐
