    I can't do 80m except for digital. For some weird reason, I can get my dipole to work at the PSK31 freq as long as I keep the power level down lest my shack become full of arreffs.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Crap! It stormed here this morning and when I hooked the antennas back up I forgot to turn the switch away from the dummy load. DOH!!!!!

    Just tried calling on 75M again....nothing heard. Bad time of day for 75M anyway.
