My first effort in participating in this QSO party. The exchange: RST report, name and NTC number. This is more difficult as a contest exchange. I noticed that participating stations also exchanged some friendly text which I not always understood. I first listened to PA3HEB to get his name and NTC number in advance. It took me about 30 minutes before I got it. Not his fault but my inability. The code just goes too fast for me. And on air it always sounds different compared to a training program like LCWO. As backup I had an internet chat open with Andre PA5OES/PA6F who was also participating. It helped a lot discussing what we heard. In the end I worked PA3HEB, PA6F and PA3EEG. Hopefully I get better next time since it is actually an hour with a lot of CW fun!
