It would seem that a) The New C64 Ultimate are in people's hands and b) they added the BBS address somewhere in manual or somewhere. The board just got really, really, busy.

Does anyone know how to get a #QSL for QSOs with #4U1UN? Officially, HB9BOU is the manager. But over the course of several years I have sent cards to him via the buro, direct (multiple times, and with more than the requested number of dollars, per the 4U1UN info on QRZ.com), direct requests via Clublog, with payment via Paypal, and sent multiple follow-up e-mails to his e-mail address... and never received any response whatsoever.
I am now out of ideas.
It's 50°F outside today! That's a good of a reason as any to get out and do another #POTA activation, this time at Big Cliff State Park US-1456.
Also, it never ceases to amaze me what I've can do with an antenna like the MFJ-1820 and 10 watts.
Map from today's Parks on the Air activation. I operated in the 20 and 40 meter bands using Morse Code at 5 watts.
Contest exchanges can seem pretty abrupt and opaque to new ham operators on a busy contest weekend.
Contest operator at Hesston College, Kansas, on his patiently explaining the desired QSO exchange format—
"If you do this again you would say …"
… "We're a college so that's what we do!"
… "Other people are listening in and they learn how to do it so all of a sudden we get more contacts. It works out for everybody."
Helpful! Well done, K0HC! on 14.286 MHz.
Have you seen video on the DIY capacity hat for a vertical antenna whip? Link below for one ham’s approach. Have purchased some 24” zip ties and found the lab stock of copper tape. Interested to see how this works on my 17’ SS-17 whip antenna!
With the cooler WX, it’s almost time to work on antennas again (just waiting for more snow up here in EN52).
