    It's so nice...

    ... to finally be back on the air. Testing out my new rig today, and it's nice hearing everyone on the bands. Must be a contest or something right now, though, although I don't see any on the calendars I've been perusing.

    Upper HF has been poor today in terms of propagation - apparently we got hit by a CME some time in the last 24h and the accompanying magnetic storm shut things down a bit.

    It'll be nice to see some Es on 12-10M with the advent of late spring and early summer.

    It wasn't a CME, it was a UGV. Now that he has a radio, of course the bands go to shit.

    Now, I think I'll apply for a vanity call with CME in it :)

    Ya better get crackin. There's only 242 until Christmas. With 50 out of a possible 700 questions, you can only spend a little under 3 days on each one. Of course, you probably want to get the ticket by Thanksgiving, which gives you even less time.
