"I'll give up CW when I'm dead! MAYBE!" (Rick, KC8AON)

My activity from Flora & Fauna areas

World Flora & Fauna program is very popular. You can work several stations from different areas every day. I was also active from three areas this year. Twice from a car, once with QRP FT-817.  My next activity will be with QRP directly from the area. Sitting in the car is not funny.
