Congrats Roy, 40.000 points indeed are an outstanding achievement! Browsing my log the call G4SSH turns up more than 140 times - since October 2007. Many thanks for all these contacts, always a great pleasure!

Congratulations Roy!

I may be wrong, but I think I know your “secret” :wink:

Obviously, as you have mentioned on here previously, you have more time to chase than some others may have. You also have a pretty good station, by all accounts, but I don’t think those things alone are the key. (no pun intended HI!)

Apart from the dedication that it takes to monitor the usual SOTA frequencies, it takes something extra to be a supreme CW chaser.

You need to re-wire your Brain!

Although the saying is “Practice makes Perfect”, the best pratice of all is to do a lot of something you enjoy, that way your Brain re-wires itself & you get better with very little effort.

I suspect you are one of those CW operators that never cease to amaze people like me, who have never had the time to get truly fluent in the mode. Whilst I could probably get up to 30wpm+ given the time, I doubt that I could do what you, & some CW operators can do, & read multiple QSO’s within a few Hertz of each other. While I can pick out the odd callsign in CW a pile-up, to be able to read seperate conversations so close together takes some doing. And of course, your ears & what is between them, are really the most important part of any CW station.

I have heard you on the air many times, but as yet do not have you in my log, but I hope you will be listening when I use CW on an activation in earnest, hopefully sometime soon.

And preferably on 160m :wink:

Once again Congratulations on a fine achievement :slight_smile:

Thanks & Best 73,

Congratulations Roy! It is always a pleasure to hear the call with the 10 sucessiv dots and to to meet you on the band. For me as activator, you are a very reliable station, even if the condx are not so good! - many thanks for all the contacts and I look foreward meeting you in the future.

In reply to G3OHC:
Indeed, congrats Roy. Got a little way to catch you up… (which I will never do anyway as you always are in the same pileups as me!).

As for copying CW, yes it takes some practice, but having been doing it for 40 years it is second nature. I can keep track of nearby other stations, but cannot follow two at once. What I certainly cannot do is hold a conversation while I am trying to send, I gather there are some who can.

Tanks for all qso we have made and I hope for even more in future.’

Roy,
Congratulations on your achievement.
After few minutes I’m going on my regular activation of Z3/WM-046, and only one thing is sure, that the G4SSH will be in my LOG, hi.
