Since I've used my #Heathkit #HW8 all day may as well use it for the @northqrp #MorseCode CW Sprint at 0030 UTC 4/15/26 #NAQCC #AmateurRadio #HamRadio #QRP #QRPRadio

I like banging out #MorseCode with a straight key and logging on paper, but #POTA and #SOTA hunting pretty much require a computer for the spots.

So I wrote a #python script to filter data from the API to just CW. Then I color coded for new parks and QRT, then added SOTA. Recently I got crazy and had it ID letters I needed for the #NAQCC challenge. I should stop before I create a logger.

Even in unsettled 40 meter conditions, I'm amazed of the POWER of #QRP CW #MorseCode. The #YouKits #HB1B & #putikeegmini #StraightKey worked through the #QSB #QRN tonight during the @northqrp #NAQCC Sprint #AmateurRadio #HamRadio

The cold winter weather may have stifled my #POTA #parksontheair activations but it hasn't kept me away from all the other #AmateurRadio #Hamradio #qrp CW #MorseCode activities like the @northqrp #NAQCC #QRPsprint tonight with my #YouKits #hb1b #miniputikeegkey

Noisy CW #MorseCode #AmateurRadio #HamRadio #QSO with Bill #K4NYM. Sill not proficient with some characters. Hope to improve that in tonight's @northqrp #NAQCC Sprint Wednesday, December 18, 2024, 0130-0330 Z

Got a great add on for my Vibroplex. I'm not a high speed code guy.. I'm not even a medium speed sort of guy..I like to do morse code under 20 WPM or as I like to think of it, PaRtY PaCe... AI4UH make and sells these pendulum extension jobs that give the bug something of a stinger. It adds to the distance from the fulcrum and slows you down w/out messing up anything or making any radical changes to your key. Pretty neat, thought I'd share.

@sergio_101 #NAQCC monthly sprints should be on there. January's was last week, but the annual bonus 160m event is tomorrow night. There are also two annual QRPp sprints.

No specific QRS rule, but QSOs are rarely much over 16wpm and ops are happy to slow down.

Non-members (it's free) and QRO ops can still play by sending RST, ST, & power for their exchange.
