Toot

Today I had my first CW QSO! I "spotted" myself in the calling-cq channel at the https://hamshow.eu/ discord, and Stu M0TTQ replied my call on 20m!

CW QSOs are definitely above my skill level, but I try the "Don't get good to get on the air. Get on the air to get good!" approach.

Also thanks to Øystein LB8IJ for sharing his first CW QSO on YouTube, errors and all. That video has inspired a great number of people, me included.

Equipment: QRP Labs QMX (low bands), QRP Labs 50W PA running at ~37W, black Bencher BY-1 iambic paddle, 40m EFHW antenna in attic.
