Things I Learned: Keep Microscope Slides Clean

Keep microscop slides... clean! New Q Codes; (Learning by using: aka experiential learning.)  I started a new github repository for notes on my goal of using the Foldscope to look at something every day. It worked. I looked. What I learned: I put a solder blob scraped off the bottom of the radio case into a slide with two adhesive transparent sitckers holding it in place. I learned thta I have to be super careful to keep other things out of the slide, especially with the adhesive covers. There were lots of interesting things to look at, but not many of them involved the edge of the solder blob. CW Operation (Morse Code): I learned two new Q-Codes today, one by using it QSK: "Can I interrupt?", and another by hearing it: QRZ: "Who is calling me?"
