Happy New Years message in very  S L O W code. 5x5 in CA 50 min before sunset.

KPLZ - Your message would be better copy if you increased the CW speed a bit so more characters could be copied between static crashes. If you speed up the CW and increase the spaces between characters you would be surprised at how much easier it is to copy and more people might stick around and copy what you have to say.
