I am still waiting on QSL from VK9DX …. I should find these folks.

Strangely, I found no audio going to my FT DX-10 until I switched USB ports on my ASUS laptop. Now, it works perfectly.
(The original port would key PTT fine. Very strange.)

The formula is ...
1) Tell them what you’re going to tell them
2) Tell them
3) Tell them what you told them (the takeaways/actions)

Easy

It was a great movie … and the last one that I saw in a theater.

A year ago today, we returned from our Christmas in England trip.

A big reason I haven’t gone to a theater since the movie Lincoln.

Wish we could join you. Then go next door for some pizza.
Merry Christmas to you and Suann.

ANO DXCC just appeared - # 120 Easter Island.

So that’s where all the bits and pieces go when I can’t find them.

It looks very well done. GL

I am still looking.

This morning’s 6m opening has quieted down for now.
One new state and grid brings me to 40/215/257.

There are LotW instructions in Português.

Today’s verification of QSOs from 2023 has to be at least the fifth or sixth time the same station has reloaded its logs.

Not complaining, just saying. 😃 With a happy heart.

Powered flight began on this day in 1903.

Sometimes eBay has some old parts for sale.
I found some MOSFETs for a 15 year-old transmitter that way.
GL my friend.

Don’t you love spam-emails that have an “input the email you wish to unsubscribe” ...
PT Barnum was absolutely right.

I hope you’re able to find a replacement display chip.
Getting older parts has become a real chore (borderline impossible).

Exactly.

Made my first 6m MSK QSO this morning with SE Minnesota.
It took quite a while to complete, but I’m happy to have that mode in the log.
The station on the other end had a MUCH better setup than I (4 X 8 with elevation). He likely had power.

The same goes for Marshall Island. Find them in the right place and it’s easy.

That was a fun area … I like making waves of sandflies.
Yep. High ground is best for VHF+ unless you’re operating satellites.

Each company seemed to have a limited edition, obscure offering. Remember the Lisa?

It almost looks like Welsh.

Where on the Island are you?
I used to bicycle to the island when the road from N Layton was gravel. That was a few years ago.
Have fun out there.

Truly. Replacing a badly scratched screen isn’t for the timid, either. (Though it isn’t all that hard.)

To me, it seems that giving Tuesday after Cyber Monday is poor marketing.

Exactly what I have for a landline.

GFCI questions ...
1) Do these circuit breakers get warm even without much load?
2) Does a switching power supply (25A 12VDC) cause an outlet to trigger more often?

It happens that way sometimes. No problem.

They replied to my 6m FT8 call - once. Never did finish a Q.
