    Those things, like showers, are of little importance.

    Radio and doughnuts are what it's all about. And I thought it was the hokey pokey was what it's all about. Who Gnu?

    Missed you last night on 40 meters JT-9; you were calling "CQ DX". I waited for a couple of cycles and then called you but, you were QSY or QRT.

    Probably QSY. Since I only call "CQ DX" when I'm on 80-10, if no DX responds, I move to another band. I think I went through 20, 30, 40, and 80 without a hint of DX.

    Not sure if you're using JT Alert, but if you are, send me a text message the next time you see me and I'll call you. I never put out a general "CQ" unless I'm on 6m or 160m.

    I just put up an inverted V East West for 10m and a sloper North South for 10m. 65 and 60' respectively. I thought I made a doublet for 20/40m but it turns out it works on 80m. I don't math gud. Um, I should do a thing now for 20/40m. Twut though?
