Woot!!! I had to stay up past my bedtime and nearly gave myself carpal tunnel syndrome, but I worked Peter I on 40m CW. Neener! Neener! Neener!
I have no idea what you’re talking about, and you probably don’t want to know all the dirty dirty possibilities that ran through my mind when I read this.
Coming soon (no pun intended): Peter II… this time it’s personal!
I thought at first maybe he meant he had worked on a Wiki article, especially with the carpal tunnel remark, but the “40m CW” doesn’t fit in with that theory. I’d guess “40m” is 40 meter, but what’s a 40 meter “CW”?
Kudos on your remarkable achievement (whatever it may be).
(Is it a puzzle?)
Apparently (through the magic of Google), Peter I is an island off Antarctica with a shortwave station. I think the OP is a ham operator…
Peter I is an island off Antarctica. Supposedly, more people have walked on the moon than have set foot on this island. Anyhow, at the moment, there is an amateur radio DXpedition encamped on the island making contacts all over the world. Early this morning at about 0700Z, I finally broke through the pileup and worked them on 40 meter ( about 7.23 mHz) using CW (morse code).
Okay, kidding aside… that’s pretty cool!
Thanks, I’m rather proud of myself. I’ve only been a ham for 2 years so this is by far the coolest thing I’ve done. I guess I’ll have to work an astronaut aboard ISS to top it.
Congratulations!
Several of my club members have worked them in the last few days. Mostly on the low bands and CW. They’ve been complaining about the difficulty, so you’ve done a good job.

What does “worked them” mean? You made contact or you gave them a task like Subservient Chicken or something? (I guess it’d be Subservient Penguin there)

“Working” means establishing contact clear enough and long enough so that both parties know who they contacted and where from.
If you can trade enough info to fill out a QSL card, then you have successfully worked that contact.
Well done! A few years ago I worked packet station R0MIR on the Mir space station using 2 m. That was pretty damned cool. One of these days I’m going to get around to trying EME.

Cool! I hope you do get the QSL card to verify the contact.
Spiffy=)
I have a british friend from a literary mailing list i am involved with who is into ham as well =) G4CLF … I wonder if he has tried =) his job keeps him so busy.
Fantastic! I don’t care for CW, but anything like that, regardless of mode is a cool acheivement. I hope you get a QSL card out of it.

The online logs have been updated and I’m in there! I’ll be sending out my SASE in the morning. Or maybe will hold off till they go QRT on the off chance that I can work them again on RTTY through the QRM from the DX contest this weekend. Thanks for the kind words everybody!
Translation for the non-Hams:
“Maybe I’ll wait until they stop transmitting in hopes I can contact them again on radio teletype through all the interference caused by this weekend’s long-distance communication contest”. 
How come none of you hams came out to congratulate me when I got my license this summer? Jerks :p.
