I got this card in the mail a couple of days ago. Bob is actually a high-school (and college) friend who I’ve kept in touch with over the years. It’s nice to have friends like Bob. I sent Bob one of my QSL cards noting that I owe a beer or a coffee next time that I get to see him in person.

The CWops have this thing they call the CW Test, or CWT. CWTs are held every Wednesday/Thursday, and include four, one-hour sessions at times that favor different geographic areas. They’re not exactly contests, and some CWops think of them as practice sessions for the “real” contests, but people post their scores to 3830scores.com and brag about them on the CWops mailing list, so they’re more than just practice sessions.

The 2022 version of the Technician Class question pool is out. The National Council of Voluteer Examiner Coordinators have really made quite a few changes to the question pool this time. They removed 64 questions, added 51 new questions, and updated 136 questions. There are now a total of 412 questions total. This means that close to half of the questions are different from the last question pool.
