Thanks to u/cadr on reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/amateurradio/comments/elwte9/90_day_cw_challenge/) I have been inspired to learn CW for 10 minutes every day at 7pm (ish) Central for 90 days (give or take for life, work, etc)! So to hold me accountable and also maybe to inspire a few of you do to the same, I'll be live streaming my progress here on YouTube and Twitch.tv. --... ...--!

This guy's bored. Anyway, here's my car, a 2003 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V. It's pretty nice, but now the wheel is covered in melted gummy worms and it only takes premium fuel. 30 MPG is still all right though.
As for the windom, I put pulleys up rather than just throwing a rope over. This'll make it last longer for sure. ►Blog: http://n0ssc.com/

For my first DX contest, I made 86 QSOs in 43 countries.
But it sucked because it took like ten minutes for every qso. A G5RV and 100w with compression isn't as piercing as most hams' stations.
Update: Thanks to W0NWA for sending me a Good Operators report from the ARRL Official Observers for the contest. He says I had good op skills, clean signals, and i was polite. ►Blog: http://n0ssc.com/

Trying to work on J, B, X, Z, 6, 7, 8, P, F, and G. Not really making much progress but I'm not doing too bad going back to all characters mixed.
Also a warm congratulations to YOTA camp attendees who were just selected today! Additionally I rant about reddit, remote VE testing, RCforb (RemoteHams Client) and the big bad human malware that seems to only be getting worse.

This is a timelapse of NG0E's APRS VHF Propagation monitor at http://aprs.mountainlake.k12.mn.us/
I thought it might look pretty neat.
The duration is between Oct 9 and Oct 18. Screenshot taken every 2 min with screen refresh. The timers between the screenshot and refresh aren't exactly synchronized, so at about 0:20 there is a whiteout...you don't miss much.
Propagation openings at
0:03 - 0:07 - East Coast
0:12 - 0:19 - Southeast Coast
0:19 - 0:21 - AZ - UT opening
0:27 - 0:33 - BIG Midwest Opening
0:37 - 0:40 - East coast
0:45 - 0:56 - Northeast coast and FL
1:00 - 1:07 - FL - NC opening
1:16 - 1:20 - FL-TX Openings
1:24 - 1:32 - More Gulf Coast
Next thing I'd like to do is add in overlays like:
- Weather Fronts & Satellite
- Hepburn Forecasts (http://www.dxinfocentre.com/tropo.html)
- Greyline
so I can look for correlations, but that stuff is complicated, the hepburn forecasts require permission, and I have no time for editing it :(

I'm up too late. Here's some nightowls/early birds chewing rags on 80 meters. Notice the pileup when politics are mentioned

This is the sound that drives your atomic clocks. Seems just like a random CW beeper at times, but it is atomically precise.
