Well I showed the wife this picture of a Hexbeam and explained that’s what’s going on the new mast rather than a big ugly yagi. I think she was convinced. I’m still alive so I might have gotten away with it.

Anybody in the UK looking for QSL Card verification stamps, go check out PTS and create a cheap custom version. Great service.

This is rapidly becoming the most used piece of kit on my shack. Bloody sharp knife!

The last pass of SO-50 was crazy. Sounded like a jumble sale.

Good call to replace the mast pulleys while it's down.

I've had this radio for a while and never tried terminal mode. The learning begins.

My wife said “you don’t mind if I got to Sarahs (our eldest) tonight?”. Of course not. 10 minutes after she left I’ve ordered my curry.

First I find someone has dug a big hole in my garden, now someone has delivered some steel rebar to my house. The only thing I can think to resolve this is to put the rebar in the hole then fill it with concrete. Best to be safe. Thoughts?

As an academic who specialises in business and finance I am trying to get my head round Donald Trumps promise of giving $5,000 to all Americans if the Republicans win the mid-terms. U.S. population: about 349 million, So the cost would be approximately $1.745 trillion.

I’ve just looked in the garden and see a large hole has appeared. Looks dangerous, must fill it with concrete to make it safe. Maybe add some supporting metalwork.

Handing round some points on the 144MHz contest. Takes me back to when I started. A new FT290R and a 9 elle Tonna on the side of my parents home, working stations from my bedroom.

Did not realize it's so difficult to buy a satellite dish over 90cm. Looking for 110 or 120cm that I don't have to take out a second mortgage for.

What a blast from the past. Clearing out cupboards and found these Jems from 1980s when I first got my license and was studying for the Morse test. Anybody want them?

Blimey, concrete is expensive. This antenna project is no cheap feat.

Never really been someone who chases awards, but just seen I am 16 states short from working them all. Worked 119 countries out of 193. Things you learn! 😀
