    "content": "\n\nHello Jim and other CW addicts,\n\nI too, have been a CW junkie all of my ham radio years.  I was first\nlicensed in June of 1960.  I can't claim being a total CW operator but\nthat is certainly my operating mode of choice.  I did a quick scan of my\nlast five log pages.  (I keep a hard copy but I also enter my QSOs into\nlog-EQF so I have a double logging system.)  I found only 10 fone\ncontacts out of about 125 total Qs.  When we had AO-40 up and running\nquite well I gave up on HF and devoted all my efforts to chasing DX on\nthat bird.  I did actually make nearly 1000 Qs but I will sadly admit\nthat about 90% of them were on fone.  It's not that I wanted to work fone\nbut there was very, very little everyday CW operation on the bird. \nSeveral expeditions made good use of their time by operating both CW and\nSSB.  Since I was chasing hard for satellite DXCC I worked whatever DX I\ncould hear on whatever mode they were using.  My first satellite QSOs\nwere via RS-12 and they were on CW!  My first QSOs on AO-10 and AO-13\nwere also on CW.  (Wish I could have been interested in the birds when 13\nwas in it's prime.) I too, operate , just for the fun of it, in some DX\ncontests but generally have much more fun doing the CW versions.  I often\nwonder if those high speed contesters I work can really copy as fast as\nthey send.  I can because I still log on paper first and then e-log\nlater.  I too, work Field Day whenever possible but make the stipulation\nthat I get to do the CW operating.  No one has ever challenged me for\nthat.   \nJim, I too am 70 years old and I'm seriously wondering if I'll live long\nenough to see another HEO bird in orbit.  At the current rate of putting\nsuch birds into orbit the chances of my living long enough to chase DX on\na satellite again seem, as the saying goes, slim and none!!  I love\nchasing DX but the challenge of doing it via ordinary HF is certainly\nless satisfying than working Cocos Keeling Island with less than five\ndegrees of elevation at both ends and doing so through a hole in an Elm\ntree across the street from my satellite antennas.\nBTW, I need only North Korea to have them all on HF but I have only about\n120 worked via satellite so the challenge remains for me via satellite\nbut without an HEO bird it's only a vague dream.  \nI favor, at the moment, 30 meters only because there is no fone allowed\non this band.  I hear quite a few 'struggling\" CW operators there but I\nhave to give them due credit for trying.  I don't currently operate 40\nmeters but I too have often called CQ on 30 without any answer\nwhatsoever.\nInterest in CW is waning and doing so at a fast pace.  Jim, let me know\nif you'd like a sked for a CW QSO.  Seems we have much in common.  Please\npromise not to send faster than 25/30 WPM.  That's OK in a contest or for\na DXpedition but 20 WPM makes for a much more enjoyable rag chew!!  \nLong live CW both on HF and satellite but us old \"die hards\" can't\ncontinue for much longer.  Admittedly, we need help.  Right, Jim?\n73 to all.  Frank, KØBLT\n____________________________________________________________\nClick here to learn more about nursing jobs.\nhttp://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL2141/fc/Ioyw6i3nEvp4TAD4XyeavT3jCbupTx2HZZ1ogspF7C00zLqyT2v3ut/\n",
