Hi Mike, A couple of thoughts about activities that have kept me ditting and dawing.
You might consider hanging out with the SKCC (Straight Key Century Club) ops. As the name suggests, straight key bug, or cootie key only. Lots of activities and awards to chase. Also the group has a very active reflector. Check out WWFF (World Wide Flora and Fauna), POTA (Parks on the Air) and SOTA (Summits on the Air). You can be an activator or chaser/hunter. Another activity I've never seen mentioned is CW nets. I check in most mornings at 8:30 with HBN--Hit and Bounce Net (east coast). Finally, sign up for a level 2 or 3 online course with the CW Academy. Over time, I've used all of the above to keep me motivated.
