My First SKCC WES
My First SKCC WES (Weekend Sprintathon)
- March 11, 2023, Saturday.
I'm a new CW op, recently became a SKCC member (#27223), this is the first time to do SKCC WES.
On Saturday I was tuning my DIY trail EFHW antenna in the backyard:
Finished trail EFHW antenna
Half wavelength stealth antenna wire pulled up by a fishing pole, forming an inverted V
I used my DIY paddle key as a straight key to hunt a few POTA and SOTA, and then did 2 SKCC WES QSO's, nice!
DIY iambic paddle key used as a straight key
My 1st QSO was with K7GUD (23806s), after sending his name "PAT" he mentioned "b" which means a bug key he was using.
My 2nd QSO was with KS1KCC (20550s), he sent his name "SKCC", I thought "What? Is this a human name?" Then I asked him to re-send his name, he sent "SKCC" again... Later I realized it was the KS1KCC club callsign! HI HI.
This week's SKCC WES results are shown on SKCC WES website. I got 64 scores, overall 281 among the 295 participants, not bad! ๐
