2023 Radio Update

I am going to avoid any radio modes/methods that require an internet connection. I feel more and more that amateur radio communication should be radio ↔ radio only
The Internet is useful as an “accessory” to the actual communication (spotting for WSPR, PSKReporter etc.), but I feel increasingly that it shouldn't be a necessary part of the communication itself, which should rely on RF alone.
“Normal” Repeaters are okay - it's RF all the way: User ↔ Repeater ↔ User.
- No DMR Hotspot
- No Fusion/YSF Hotspot
- No AllStar Link
- No Echolink

build 17m CW “phasing” RX
build 17m CW TX - QRP 5W
Work MUCH MORE CW using bug and straight key ~~and Bencher Paddles - stay versatile!~~
Try to have at least one CW QSO each day, within reason.
~~Monitor 10m FM and try to have some QSOs - call CQ regularly~~ - Gave up on this.
Try to use higher bands (17/15/12/10) when they are open.
Use 30m CW OFTEN
Try to call CQ on 60m CW daily 5260kHz for UK and ~5355.0kHz for WARC-band countries
Re-join the local radio club and get more involved in their activities
Take part in the 2023/4 Straight Key Night
Upload a few more You Tube videos - incl. some “real time recordings” of CW QSOs
Keep LOTW and ~~Club-Log~~ up to date
Keep electronic Xlog up to date as well as logging everything in my paper logbook
