Oh Why ??!!! I will never know ! Sigh !! |
| 2025-10-13 14:46:04 | siwli@toot.berlin | 20 | Success! | Challenge for Week 41 was to write a poem on my biggest #hamradio pet peeve.Well, here we go: HC41SThey hear my voice and they rejoice"Oh, a YL!", they shout but I'd rather not stand out or at least have the choice.Disclaimers:- I'm bad at poems. Always have been - that's why I'm an engineer, not a poet- Yes, it's nice to feel welcome. But it's also tiring to stick out all the time. Not going to discuss this (did that in a blog post some time ago already). |

It's more like... difficult to explain to people not involved :). But everytime I thought about HC41, my mind came to rest at the sound of the following "poem":best 73tu tu tu tudidit diditdit dit... -.-I think it doesn't make any sense without the attached recording – so please give it a try and let me know if that should count for the #hamchallenge ...@hamchallenge |
