    40m came alive in the last hour, as we started to get close to evening, and as 20m was frankly played out.I was going to plug my rig into battery, but then saw in the rules that your computer has to be on battery power as well, and I didn't have a way to plug my shack computer into battery, so I didn't bother running the rig off battery.Then when I went to submit my log, I saw that actually your logging computer can be mains powered, so the rules must have been about the computer you are using for digital modes. Which I wasn't. I did all CW, no multi-mode multipliers for me!So I could have gotten another multiplier for my 2-point CW QSOs for my solar-charged battery, as well as the 4x QRP multiplier. I could have had 510 points instead of 408 points. Which doesn't matter at all because I'm not actually in any form of contention for anything; I worked only about five hours thanks to all the winter storm prep. And even if I'd worked the whole time I still wouldn't be competitive. I only hunted, I didn't run.And running only 5W, I didn't even make the antenna wire warm enough to melt the ice that was covering it.Maybe next year I'll run instead of hunting. But probably still QRP, and maybe actually in the field...#WinterFieldDay #HamRadio

    Today I released version 0.7 of my print-in place single-paddle Morse code key.

    Today I released version 0.7 of my print-in place single-paddle Morse code key.This will function as release notes:The most important practical change is that the slot in the lever for the stabilizer bar is taller, so that it doesn't bind. Previously, it sometimes bound depending on luck, and when it didn't bind, needed to be greased with a light lubricant.The most important user-facing change is updated build instructions, now with pictures. Previously, the instructions were just text.The most important developer-facing change is that it was rebuilt with FreeCAD 1.1RC, and all recalculation errors and warnings were removed. previously, it had quit building correctly due to changes in FreeCAD.The side contacts are better aligned with the common/ground screw in the lever when using thin ring terminals. (It was previously optimized for thick terminals.)The rear stabilizing bar was never necessary and was just extra weight and ugly complexity, so it has been removed.The spring radius is no longer an explicit parameter.I added more links to sources for hardware.This is getting close to what I would consider a polished, 1.0 release.As always, I crave feedback. If you build this, I want to hear what went well and what, if anything did not.#MorseCode #HamRadio

    Today's #HamRadio #POTA (Parks On The Air) adventure. Absolutely gorgeous, couldn't-be-better fall weather on a Saturday, so that it was a little surprising that we found parking space and that all the picnic tables were empty. Used my spiderbeam push-up mast to hold my inverted-v linked dipole up, tied the ends out to some trees, and got on the air on 20 meters, using CW (morse code) as usual. I first hunted operators in other parks and got 4 QSOs, but the pileups were deep, so I found a quiet frequency and called CQ. I didn't have to wait for responses, either! Some pileups were so deep they sounded like modem noise (showing my age here). A little intimidating for the new CW operator, but the other operators were patient with me.AZ is one of the states I haven't gotten in my hunter logs yet, so I was happy to see AZ pop up for one call sign. However, that operator reported IL, so I still don't have AZ. I'll have to keep hunting!By the end, I was getting a lot of QRM (interference from human sources). That's the curse of operating QRP (low power) — I'm sure they couldn't hear my measly 5W and weren't intentionally operating on top of me. That was OK, though; I had 31 QSOs and I was ready to QRT (quit) for the day.
