For two weeks, my QRZ.com page unintentionally said I was a member of the “Silent Key Century Club”. Guess I was getting about fifty years’ head start! #amateurradio #hamradio #skcc

Finally a 36 hour reprieve from thunderstorms and rain. Took time to make some #SKCC #SKCCgroup @skccgroup #HamRadio #MorseCode CW contacts before it starts again on Saturday.

Just saw this video featuring my friend Ken, N8KR, talking about all things #SKCC for #HamRadio operators interested in CW with mechanical keys: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjEw2cDktvM

The #SKCC Weekend Sprint Event is running now. The bonus theme is "boat anchors" and you get one bonus point for each tube on the other operators station.

I called #CQ on 40 meters this morning and got two #SKCC stations from #texas using my old #WW2 J-38 straight key. I will try to work more stations until the band starts degrading. #AmateurRadio #HamRadio #MorseCode
