Some Thoughts
Back to our “try a new mode” soapbox. During one of the prior quiet cycles, I tired operating
some CW. I had not been on CW for a number of years, but got on because propagation on SSB was non-existent . I enjoyed it and quickly got my speed up to 25 wpm or more! Look at Page 8 of today’s MW. One record was set on 241 GHz. Another on 500 KHz. Try a new band. Page 5 has some satellite news and notes. Try a new band or a new mode. You will like it!
