WSJT and WSPR
I spent half an hour or so trying to get a stable version of WSPR, or even WSJT, on Ubuntu, but no luck. Seems like there is some hope and some, well, not hope.

E51NOU
I heard E51NOU (Rarotonga, South Cook Islands) on 7.002 Mhz and got 599/599 CW to my 5W to the SteppIR dipole.

KH7XS
I worked KH7XS again, this time on 40M 7003.46 from home with my K3 at 5W to the low loop for a 569 to send a 599. Bill was louder on the SteppIR and there was less local QRN but he heard me on the loop while I was hooking up the SteppIR coax.

SM4OTI
I heard SM4OTI call CQ DX on 7.003 and got an answer on the first call from my K3 at 50W to the SteppIR dipole. Steve gave me 569 and I sent 569. Steve was in Leksand, Sweden.

ZS1JX
I tuned around 40M and heard a steady but quiet signal on 7001. It was ZS1JX just finishing a QSO and someone called him, so I rotated by SteppIR 40m dipole towards South Africa and gave a call when he finished and got "WA5?" right away at 80W from my K3. Peter answered and gave me 459 QSB but seemed to copy his 579 and my name and QTH OK. This is my first CW Africa contact, and first on 40m (though I managed a JT65a contact once on 20m with ZS6WAB.).
