DG5CWThe era of comfortable, coffee-sipping ๐ 16 wpm Morse is officially over now. ๐
Clean your paddles, speed demons! ๐
AGCW DTC - The conditions (local and band) weren't ideal for the DTC contest, ๐ฅด but I managed a result that covered nearly all parts of Germany, running 75W to a 10m vertical. โบ๏ธ
Want to guess the direction a big house was blocking my signal? ๐ง
I'm signing off from Hungary as HA/DG5CW. Big thanks for all the killer QSOs (local to DX, QRS to QRQ, rubber stamp QSOs to real looooong QTX) and the awesome vibes in the sun-drenched yard. Catch you on the flip side.

โ๐ณ๐ฟ The very first morning QSO on 30m with ZL3XDJ - the day couldn't start any better. ๐ช
UFB Condx these days. ๐ฅฐ
Calling "HV7/LZ1WF/P DE HA/DG5CW" with my Navy FP straight key makes up 50% of the QSO time/content on its own ๐ I wonder how many people respond or just keep tuning if copying such a callsign ๐คฃ.
Another perfect day full of sunshine โ๏ธand radio ๐ป. Band condx were super. ๐ช
I'm always amazed at the great contacts I can make with just a simple 10m vertical (wire) antenna - can't wait to see what the next few days may bring.

My HA/DG5CW antenna is up ๐ช, has passed its first tests โ , and the initial QSOs with EA3BV (on 30m) and IU8NMZ (on 40m) are in the log ๐. At the moment it's all done with my Navy FP (straight key) only since my paddle was damaged during backpack transport ๐ฅด and needs some attention tomorrow.

The certificate attesting to my successful decryption of the Enigma encrypted message on August 30, 2025 arrived ๐ฅณ
I joined today's "AGCW-Handtastenparty" ๐ฅณ on the 40-meter band using my Navy FP.
Participation seemed a bit limited, but it was a lot of fun, and I ended up making 27 nice straight key QSOs.๐ช
