1st of October started with SKCC SSS (Slow Speed Saunter) and I joined for the second time. Activity and or conditions were low,\u00a0<\/p>\n
maybe that’s how it goes in the middle of the week. 2 x 20M qso with EA, both non SKCC members, but 1 x QRP. Surprise was WB2SPP John on 30M in a nice SSS QSO. Key used was my 2004 LH Standard Vibroplex at 12wpm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I have to get used to lower my speed and just try NOT to hurry, staying at the right speed in which I succeeded after a short while calling CQ and first QSO.\u00a0\u00a0So SSS was a nice event at lower speed and enjoing the Rhythm of the Code (by hand).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
SKCC’s QSO Party (QSO) calling SKQ was on Sunday, October 4th. Participated in this lazy Sunday morning and afternoon, 11 QSOs made with my LH 2004 standard Vibroplex.4 high SKCC nrs, 3 non-members were introduced to this activity. Hpe cuagn in CW! (Sorry for the\u00a0\u201cwrong\u201d picture in the soap-box)<\/p>\n
Joined RSGB Autumn Series 80M contest on October 5th. Fine conditions and big signals, good skip to G, GW, GW, EI, GI resulting in 82 QSO\u2019s in 1,5 hrs.<\/p>\n
SKCC WES on October 10th started to join, after 1 QSO our 2 grandchildren came to stay for the weekend, so that was it…<\/p>\n
October 14th, Semi-automatic Bug evening (Schlackertasten abend) from AGCW. I was the February winner of this activity, so I had to join. Made 28 QSO,s with my 1954 RH Lightning Bug Vibroplex at 20 Wpm (according RBN) The highest nr I heard as 25, so let\u2019s wait for final results. During this 1,5 hrs event I\u2019ve met lots of CW lovers and some new-comers as well. I have to work out my log, make a nice inspiring soapbox with a nice picture and upload all.<\/p>\n
October 17th Stew Perry Topband Warmup. The Top Band season is beginning and\u00a0 I hope to meet the CW lovers on the Gentlemans\u2019 band, which resulted in 52 QSO,s. Around 00:00 The first USA stations came in, not workable yet, I was tired, zzzzzz.<\/p>\n
Last weekend of October, Garden chorus to do on Saturday, but some nice 30M QSO\u2019s on the Sunday evening: twice SKCC USA and 2 x Ragchew France and UK. Used The RH lighting Bug for 20 WPM and my 2004 Standard LH Vibroplex for 12WPM.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
