Just worked Alabama from CA on 50.125 using 50 W

All the action is FT8. I've made close to 20 QSOs today -- FL, GA, MS,
LA, TX, OR, AZ, JA.
Earlier today, the QSO map showed a lot of the eastern US working EU.

K3, KPA500, 4-el Yagi.

There's been plenty of action on SSB and CW today. I made multiple contacts on both modes, including a nice 10-minute chat with a station 1,000 miles away. I'm using only a dipole on my end.

The beauty of CW and SSB is that you don't need one of those "computer" thingies. Just turn on the rig :)

Hmmm......Let me see if I understand this concept Wayne. Your talking just an Antenna, a radio and a mic or key.... I don’t know man......you might sell that to us old timers but... I’m not sure how that’s gonna go over with the younger crowd.... better run it up the old flag pole and see how many salute. :)

To get millennials, we'll need someone to turn it into a video game...a first-person shooter, maybe with Red Bull as the sponsor. PTT = Pull The Trigger. QSK = quick shot kill. You get the idea.

A number of years ago my youngest grandson, 15 then and not a gamer,
came in and asked, "Whatcha doin Grandpa." I took the headphones off and
said, "I'm in a contest." He said, "Sounds like fun ... how do you
win?" I'm not sure things have changed that much.

Really? I heard lots of stations on SSB around 1700Z even with my old deaf K3
and a triband beam. Only tried to worked one station in CO but heard TX, ID, CA, WA.
