[CW] Fwd: [MWA] QRS CW Ops Tests Wednesday/Thursday​

[Danny Douglas via CW]

     You dont still log them?

Yeah,  I snowed WA5QQQ when he heard me.  He didnt believe I was a brand 
new Novice, of two whole days.   I was also off freq, not knowing the 
World Radio Labs transmitter could tune on the wrong band, with the xtal 
I had.    Considering I could copy 50 wpm, I dont blame him.  HI.   Of 
course, my sending was a bit different, and I guess I was probably 
sending around 10-15 at the time, with my old Vibroplex (I still have, 
and use it)  We were about 2 miles from each other, and he came over and 
straightened me out, on tuning the thing.  We still talk on occasion, 
and not surprisingly its usually via CW.  And we seem to be getting a 
bit long in the tooth too.
