I had a nice short rag chew with Cainan N9FZ who may know @N4JAW since he had an inspiring video of Jim on his QRZ page.

Just uploaded new video. This time a bit slow paced video, walking in snowy Finnish forest and lots of CW with annotation/subtitles (for practice). Couldn't upload to youtube so in this one in FreeTube.
I opted to have QRP labs assemble the QMX I ordered because reasons. I figured this would be me more time to get passably proficient in #CW anyways. According to the waitlist, they apparently went a little bit crazy with assembly this week and banged out nearly 50 units in just a handful of days.

@neauoire @oppen I am okay with #politics sans #CW when it includes segue, or optimism, or points on #thrivability including sustainability, or encouragement, or other forms of resiliance, love, and support for each other.
Want to celebrate the Salk polio #vaccine on #cw? Live on 40m starting at 0000 UTC, we have very special guest star @kb6nu operating W7P and calling CQ SALK one dit at a time! #sciencerules
Dahditdahdit is a Great learning tool for CW. Now I „just“ need to keep at it. Had one week break and I’m back to zero it feels. But one day … ;) #hamradio #cw #worldheritage
Wtf.. the new Discord embeds don't work with content warnings. That's pretty bad. #Discord #CW #ContentWarning

Here's a photo of Craig's / #WB3GCK #hamonabike setup during our #AmateurRadio #HamRadio #CW #Morsecode #QSO
I had a great #pota activation this afternoon at US-10658, people started crowding, lots of fishing and water sports. I had to relocate due to clouds of insects and lots of sap blowing from the tree I was under. I also had forgotten to activate the boom mic on my #canon90d, so all I have are photos. I also hit over 1k QSOs and got my #pota Kilo award. #AmatuerRadio #CW #FieldRadio #morsecode @LnRPrecision #mtr3bv4 #TPIII @warteschleife

This design is ready for you to test!
I printed out keys with six different variations on spring strength, four different sizes of covers, two different heights of swivel bases, and brought them all to my local club monthly show-and-tell. A few others club members have also printed them. I took some feedback, and have now updated the documentation and released STEP and STL files for multiple configurations.
The ones I printed were ABS. One club member printed in PLA, and another in PETG, so it looks like this design can work well across multiple types of filament. One club member screwed down what I had meant as a belt swivel mount to a board that you rest your wrist/forearm on and it's a very clever addition! Picture attached.
I would like lots of detailed feedback! If you are interested in a single-paddle morse key, it doesn't matter whether you want a very light or extremely stiff spring or anything in between, this design can meet your needs. It's not expensive. You may be able to use random hardware lying around the house, especially if you have spare parts for 3d printers, but I also have links in the documentation for various hardware you can use with it.
Lots of options and possibilities, and if you need help, please don't hesitate to speak up!

I activated US-10658 this morning, I didn't take pictures or film it, I was located in one of my favorite spots in the woods surrounding the lake, showing signs of scorched earth. I got 4 DX hunters, 2 Canada, 1 Indonesia and 1 Sweden. My setup was the #QMX mid band I built, CHA MPAS Lite, TP-III key and a TalentCell 12v. The rig had around 5 watts output. #CW #MorseCode #POTA #WWFF #FieldRadio #AmateurRadio
More experiments with the Foxx-3 20 m QRPp transceiver. This morning at SOTA EA5/AT-053, POTA ES-0166, I had no BC breakthrough. Volume was low, and RX was only usable about 1.5 seconds after TX, but I managed to work KD1CT, 5800 km away, and a SWL in the Netherlands recorded the QSO and sent it to me!
Some time ago, #Elecraft stopped making the 100W #amplifier module for their #K2 kit radio. However, all is not lost, as the #KXPA100 solid-state switching amplifier designed for their KX3 radio can work great with the K2, after a small mod to the K2. I describe this mod in the blog article linked below. As a result, I can send #CW on my K2 at 100W with silent switching and full QSK. The KXPA100 is equipped with a 100W ATU, giving full flexibility regarding the antenna.

Dearest #Fediverse,
Don't become a doomscroller's den.
I'm not preaching at you about the #CW right now, just saying, "watch out for one another."
I know world events are very distressing.
So please keep posting your nerdy-arse status updates and passion projects.
Love you,
—The Melancholy Dane
Do I need a QMX+ or QMX now that they do SSB? 
Hide boosts from account, hide boosts from account, hide boosts from account, hide boosts from account, hide boosts from account...
If I wanted to doomscroll, I'd be on reddit, you nerfherders.
#CW your shiz!
Edit: clarifying that I'm hiding boosts from many individual accounts, rather than screaming at people to hide all boosts over and over again like a lunatic, lol
