'Ye' as second person plural is very much a thing in Ireland, especially in the west, as in "Are ye going out tonight".

Question though? Why did they get rid of sms functionality?

Yes, but kind of no.
I love the pile up when working SSB, in CW it's all about the chat.
Also, bedtime in our house tends to be the same time as a lot of the 1 hour contests.
SOTA/POTA: yep, although I've not done any yet, it is something I want to have a go at

For me it was self study to begin with. I was lucky to have a lot of time during covid andade use of that by delving into lcwo.net. passed my telegraphist exam before I got my license. Eaier this year I got into a CWops intermediate class and found the peer-pressure/friendly-competition aspectgreat for helping me improve.
Since that, it's just been making QSOs and gradually increasing my speed. I'm ragchewing comfortably at 20wpm now, but setting my keyer between 22-25, to push my comfort zone.
As it is now, with two small kids, I don't have the time to devote to contesting. I do absolutely love going on the air after bedtime and chatting with other CW ops. Which do you prefer?
