I'm into CW and POTA/SOTA. Mostly working on improving CW. EM16.

[Seth AC5M @Seth_AC5M]

Triple Play WAS awarded. #2715

[Seth AC5M @Seth_AC5M]

@ZSsixSHN Looks great! Have fun and get a lot of DX.

[Seth AC5M @Seth_AC5M]

149/150 for the Triple Play award. Now I just need my own state on SSB.

[Seth AC5M @Seth_AC5M]

Now at 47 confirmed with FT-8. 46 confirmed with Phone (hopefully up to 49 if SSB SS participants upload to LOTW). 50 confirmed with CW. Triple Play is within reach this year.

I only follow #hamradio ops. In the past there was a seeming exodus to mastodon, now a few are crying about blusky something. To them that do not support #FreeSpeech I say, good riddance. No need to announce your departure.

[Seth AC5M @Seth_AC5M]

@ad7db @W6KSR Same here. I keep refreshing LoTW. I got 25-30 new confirmed so far after #CQWW CW bringing me up to 57 confirmed / 107 worked.

[Seth AC5M @Seth_AC5M]

@_EA3M Thanks for the QSO on 40m with the new beam!

[Seth AC5M @Seth_AC5M]

@commsonawire Nice setup! I would watch a video about that. N1MM has become my primary log entry app to feed DX Keeper.

[Seth AC5M @Seth_AC5M]

@ea8bgo No, I was high power (200-300 W) on all bands but 10 meters (85 W). My Ten-Tec Hercules II is missing the 10/12 meter module. I have it on a 80 meter off center fed dipole at about 25 feet.

[Seth AC5M @Seth_AC5M]

My #CQWW score. First time I've participated in one of these. I'm surprised how well my dipole worked, but I'm sure the other stations had the better antennas.

[Seth AC5M @Seth_AC5M]

@N5BO_Justin I think my filters pretty much limit my view to RBN spots. I know better than to trust those. But it gets me looking in the right spots for activity.

[Seth AC5M @Seth_AC5M]

@DS1TUW That is impressive. Nice job! I heard you briefly in Oklahoma on 15m but never had good enough copy to attempt calling.

[Seth AC5M @Seth_AC5M]

@DX_World Mine was in the mailbox today!

[Seth AC5M @Seth_AC5M]

Now all 50 confirmed on FT8 and CW. 47 confirmed SSB with hopes of getting AK and RI confirmed soon.

[Seth AC5M @Seth_AC5M]

I feel like I am speed running Digital/FT-8 WAS with the help of DXLabs and decent band conditions. Up to 33 confirmed after a couple evenings of effort.

[Seth AC5M @Seth_AC5M]

Now at 47 confirmed with FT-8. 46 confirmed with Phone (hopefully up to 49 if SSB SS participants upload to LOTW). 50 confirmed with CW. Triple Play is within reach this year.

[Seth AC5M @Seth_AC5M]

@commsonawire I missed you in OK. I was happy to work the Q stations this weekend. Nice job with the setup. I need to get a headset and foot switch next year. I used my CW paddle as a PTT.

Which bands did you work?

[Seth AC5M @Seth_AC5M]

@GDave50 We worked a few of the same stations. I didn't get you in my log though. I got all but two sections: NB and OK (my own state). This was my first SSB SS.

[Seth AC5M @Seth_AC5M]

Thanks to everyone who answered my poll. I have been using OQRS to get some QSLs and to help support the DX operation/station.

I'm new at DX-ing and trying to figure out how to QSL effectively.

Do you use OQRS to QSL?

[Seth AC5M @Seth_AC5M]

@N3QEH I had 100 followers recently until I blocked a few bots. It's frustrating. What are these bots even doing? I don't see them posting.
