Very disappointed to see NO cw operations on Armed Forces Day.
Hasn't been that way for a while.
I remember the fun of working NSS, AIR and WAR on cw and getting their QSL
card. Had hoped to hear them pounding brass again. It was also fun to copy
the Sec. of Def.'s Broadcast on CW and get a certificate for that.
Yes....I remember re-arranging all the chairs on the Titantic to be able to work
all the MARS HQ stations in as many modes as I had...and sending/getting QSLs
for the exercise.
The next step will be when there are none of us that did that around...and like
commercial telegraphers, the memories will ony what someone has written.

I was planning on re-joining MARS until I saw that they do not do CW any
more. Why bother now?
Well, you could go back into the bugy whip shop and turn out a few...me, I am
heating up the forge to make some button hooks.
