CW Stations Worked Plural Times ← ↑ ↓ →

Chance encounters for the most part. In time, though, perhaps on-going friendships?

CW QSOs with Ships, Islands, Lonely Places ← ↑ →

Always exciting to QSO with places out-of-the way. Best of all is working a ship at sea, such as N1EA shown below.

Stations Most Recently QSO’d ↑

Stations listed but once, our most recent. List cuts off at 100 max.

AIDF key tags: SK straight key, SS side-swiper, B semi-automatic bug, FAB fully-automatic bug, SP Single paddle, DP dual paddles, and CPU computer generated Morse.

When operating abroad (MI0, VA7, ZD7, ZS1), my policy is to QSL by direct mail without need of being asked, with corresponding LoTW uploads in due course. I only care about real QSL cards. Below is another of my all-time favorites:

About This Page ← ↑

Technical Trivia: I was needing a project to brush up on SQL. So here it is. The database is SQLite 3. The page you are viewing is XML/XSLT built from a script written in Perl/DBI. The GUI by which I issue queries is Perl/Tk, which itself relies upon a non-CPAN module Tk::EasyGUI.pm. Every last part, the SQL, the two Perl scripts and custom Perl module, even the XSLT stylesheet, are my own code 100%.
