    Not planning on it. I did my Clean Sweep 2 years ago. Haven't been on since.

    If you care to let me know when and where on 20m, I'll try to stop by.

    Yes, and one has to admire the way that you got a "back door" WAS via your Clean Sweep.

    I will be QRV sometime this evening. Don't know exactly when yet. The Boss is going to some sort of Mary Kay event, Little Miss Field Day is having a couple friends over -- one of them claims to have NEVER seen Blazing Saddles before, can you believe it? -- so I'm expected to make myself scarce.

    After I buy the girls a couple of pizzas, of course.

    What are you going to do if LMFD come up to you and says "They said you was hung"?

    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.

    Nothing.

    Her friends bailed. Seems that their grandfather showed up and is taking their family out to dinner.

    So if it's just the two of us... she'll be watching Spaceballs, I'll be trying to work the FT4

    Nah.

    Jim found what may be the only way for a US or VE station to legitimately get an ARRL acknowledgment of WAS without joining the League.

    One of these:

    The good news:

    The kit arrived today in the mail.

    The bad news:

    ONLY the kit arrive in the mail. No instructions. Nada. Not even a parts layout.

    Nice.

    I guess for under $8, by expecting an extra sheet of paper, I was expecting too much.

    When I was in high school a ham radio friend built a single transistor flea power 1/2 watt cw transmitter for 40 meters from a schematic he found in a ham radio projects book. It was pretty awesome when he told a station halfway around the world that he was running a half watt built with a transistor and a few parts salvaged from junked consumer portable radios.

    I tried building a 3 tube 10 watt cw transmitter for 40 and 80 meters using junkbox parts and a few parts from surplus shops down on Canal Street NYC. I never got it to work right though. In those days my skills at laying out components was rather poor.

    Guess I should have grounded the B++.
