In the middle of the #CQWW contest, my SO2R Mini+ started to generate illegible Morse code. I didn't have the nerve to debug this during the contest, so I continued with a changed setup. Today I finally found some time to analyze the problem. Turns out something went wrong with the K3NG keyer firmware; the dots were normal but the dashes were almost infinitely short (1st picture). Re-flashing the Arduino and even (or so I though) deleting the EEPROM didn't fix this. However, after I resetted the keyer by holding both dot and dash paddle held down, everything was back to normal. This confuses me; I wish I could have understood what setting was corrupted, but at least it works again and I know how to fix it next time. This also sort of fulfills the @hamchallenge challenge for week 45 🙂

We now have more than 2500 registered users on the #DXCluster (DXspider) node DA0BCC-7 of the Bavarian Contest Club, (telnet://dx.da0bcc.de:7300) which I am the SysOp for. Typical daily connected user count is in the range of 70 (early morning UTC) to 250 (evenings), but I am sure next weekend during #CQWW we will see mor than that. Let's hope the cluster network and especially RBN sustains the load of the biggest #morsecode contest of the year! #hamradio

The #hamradio #CQWW is largely a bust for me. Solo op and 8hrs scattered over 3 sessions and I have a total of 40 contacts. Bleach. Now we did have a rain storm over night and this morning. FT8 showed that propagation was horrible, so that could be it. But dang if that isn't discouraging. Could hear many ops but couldn't get them to hear me. #ic7300 and 100W on an end fed random draped over my house roof ~30ft AGL.
