I can confirm that you can also drink coffee and eat a LOT of cake while running a CW QSO, even with your feet on the table! :-)
Don't we have a great hobby?

Hi Chris, Mike,

... but it's a different kind of fun to have realtime two-way contacts instead of internet feedback.

I would have loved to answer your CQ today. I like those faster QRSS / DFCW modes, because they are a good compromize between sensitivity and speed, match my limited aural-CW abilities, and allow me to take a nip on the coffee cup rather than hectically trying to write code on the pad. Unfortunately due to the light way my antenna is built, I do not dare to raise it in windy times or transmit during heavy rain.

Best 73,

Markus
