In a matter of a few months I have 1,069 QSO's using ft8. I have yet to make a phone contact other than a net, I'm working up to it. #hamradio #amatuerradio

I got up early, fired up the radio, and did some FT8 #hamradio without realizing I was only using 1w. Still made it to the West Coast from Georgia. Does that mean I just did a QRP by accident?

I am amazed at how far 20 watts will broadcast on 20 m doing ft8. #hamradio #amatuerradio

I cheated and let my radio decipher a call sign in cw. Now I really have the bug to learn CW. #hamradio #amatuerradio

Tried CQ yesterday afternoon, no contacts. Working up the nerve to hit one of the local repeaters. KR4DDZ

Tomorrow it's back to work for me. Setting a goal to finish the book I'm reading this week.
