OK, maybe not so whacky...
I had disabled my CW hand (right one) by attempting to amputate the
thumb on Wednesday, which caused me to abort the FD in DC plan I had
with my daughter Sarah, KM4WHL. As a result I gave up being able to
participate in FD at all...but wait! If I rotate the paddles 90° CCW I
can move my arm to make the thumb hit the thumb paddle! Hey! I are an
enjuneer!
Still, it was (and is) painful to move the hand so I limited myself to
100 Qs per band and took long breaks with pain killers, and although the
bands and participation were great and if not infirm I could have done
thousands...I worked a bunch of y'all including the Corn Crib at least
once and Nate on I think 6 bands! 15m was strong, even the 10m opening
was awesome...if only more people had checked to find out; it was
nationwide from my QTH!
I apologize for the mutilated CW I sent, please for give me... I
actually have a valid excuse this time! I look forward to seeing
everyone at a meeting sometime soon...
