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
Can't decide which #qrpradio to use tonight for the @NorthQrp #naqcc #amateurradio #hamradio #qrp #morsecode Sprint tonight.

@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.
NAQCC QRP CW Sprint about to start at 0130Z.
You can play even if you're not a member or QRP. Exchange is "RST ST member#, but substitute power. Or join: http://naqcc.info/joinup.html
3.555-65
7.030-45
14.059-65
