It was reported this week that Ed, P5/4L4FN, is expected to operate CW (per UFT) sometime. However, QSL Manager Bruce, KK5DO, states "in order to give everyone a chance at one QSO, he (Ed) might limit CW QSOs to only those that have never had a P5 QSO with him. This way more people will get at least one QSO as he will never be able to work everyone on SSB, CW and RTTY. He might decide that if you had a SSB QSO, then one CW QSO would be okay or if you had RTTY, then no CW. Don't know exactly how it will be done yet, but there has to be some type of limitation."
