In case anyone wonders what I've been up to (what are the odds?): I'm trolling HF in mostly CW and some SSB as OQ0IARU.
I made 3200 QSO and the callsign is shared with the other members of the #ubabe HF Committee.
Propagation above 14MHz has been poor...

Playing in the #ubabe SSB #hamradiocontest .
A pathetic 200 QSO in 7h.
My best CW hour is 210 Q so you can imagine I'm utterly bored.
SSB && slow = boring.
There's too much going on this weekend on HF in #hamradio and a small SSB contest is not what people need.
My very rare ON4WF Fingertip Key award.
Obtained at the #ubabe annual convention in 2002. I had to QSO him face to face. I was young and eager to show CW is my game. Using two brass rings around my fingers.
He brought a pc and colour printer to hand out awards to The Deserving.
Gaston ON4WF passed away this week. 98 y/o, 70y a ham. RIP OM.
If you work OT23WARD this month, chances are that I'm the operator.

In times of low activity, I always get something that reminds me of previous activities in #hamradio .
Like winning the UBA DX SSB #hamradiocontest in my category in 2022.
The pre-special-military-operation era. When UA and UR stations filled my log at a steady pace.
Now we need stable peace...
