(This a rewrite as WordPress.com ate without leaving the least sign the first draft. Actually self-deleted several drafts and scheduled posts. Not helpful.)   EDIT 9:30 AM June 4th – Seems Powerwerx takes speedy delivery to heart, as my order was just dropped off at my office!  Alas I won’t be able to break into […]

This week a cousin told family that cancer has spread into two areas and types of cancer, which puts things into uncharted territory for them. A friend’s wife who also […]

I have been pondering how many QSOs I would log if I didn’t have the remote capability of FlexRadio’s SmartLink (or another way to remote to my station) and guess it would be perhaps 15% as many QSOs, if not even less.

The harshest parts of high fever, body aches, headaches and complete fatigue is hopefully behind. This morning the XYL knocked on the bedroom door asking if I […]

Thought I would see how quickly I could get the ten main HF bands I work (160, 80, 60, 40, 30, 20, 17, 15, 12, and 10m) by working two stations each band. We I did one extra, as the Saba station wasn’t doing a conventional exchange, with any 73’s offered combined with they next […]
