@KD0FZT 10 sessions down in CW Academy. All characters learned, here's my progress: I can send fairly well at 20wpm. Better than I would expect, even. Receiving? Yeah.... Uh.... About that. #workingonit
@KI4RO@charlieray I remember hearing your call and repeating it back to ya, but couldn't dig it out of my brain's RAM after the pass. Thanks for the QSO! My first on AO-92.
Drove my FT-8900 equipped Jeep Wrangler home from work, which was timed perfectly with an AO-92 pass. Worked @charlieray and AA8CH, as well as one other. Anyone record the pass? I didn't turn my voice recorder on, and frankly didn't expect to get in well enough to make contacts.
Got my 10 FT8 QSO'S in the books for 500 bonus points in the MNQP! Been quite a slog with the band condx today, spending the rest of the day on SSB calling CQ from Wright County.
Operating as W0P for the 20th MN QSO Party today. Band condx not so hot, weather outside nothing even remotely close to hot. Transmitter: smoking hot. GL to all in the MNQP!
@KM0MMM@AMSAT@AmsatUK AO-92 is still being tested, those who were using the transponder during this pass are very much appreciated for their excellent demonstration of total disregard for all other hams who are doing the tests and cooperating to keep the uplink clear.

@KD0FZT Signed up for the April - May CW Academy because of your tweets. I've wanted to start learning CW and tried a couple apps but it seems like this method is the one I will truly get something out of. Thanks!!
