Managed to work two Hawaii stations on tonight's CWT! It's always nice when the bands are cooperative!

Tonight's CWT was madness. So many people sending 30-40wpm. Thank goodneds for RBN to check my notes against.

Pleasantly surprised to get PR on the air; now to see if #WP4TZ QSLs!

Managed to get N8EA on the first try, even though he was going 40+WPM according to RBN! I'm counting that as my win for the day!

First time participating in the #CWOps #CWT this morning! Not a bad showing for busy bands with propagation going in and out. Some of these folks are running serious speed!

Another good evening on the MST, and some post-contest DX to France and Bulgaria! Couldn't get Italy and Poland clearly enough to complete QSOs, but we tried!

Lots of duplicate stations on tonight's K1USN SST, but still lots of fun. I think we all switched from 20 to 40 at the same time!

The past 3 years at the #AAMFT Leadership Symposium I've insisted that MFTs need formal training on #publicpolicy #advocacy.

Our expert knowledge of #mentalhealth and #familyfunctioning gives us a unique and powerful perspective that policymakers need to hear from.
