Comments:
This contest represented my #3-7 CW QSOs ever. Got my Tech in June-22 and Extra in August-22. CW was the next goal with a QSO by Christmas. This contest was my carrot to keep studying and practicing every day. The biggest challenge I had was copy as is for most new CW operators. This contest really helped with my confidence level. Every CW operator on the other side was patient and kind. I am thankful that organizations such as the ARRL consider all levels of Amateur Radio operators. This was the perfect event to push me to the next level.
