Recent Events

Well, the last month or so hasn't been totally productive.  No major ham events to report...just an update.  I of course aggravated my torn meniscus in my knee climbing my tower, thus making any new climbs in the near future out of the question.  We decided that we didn't like where my OCFD was so, a friend was going to change it.  He injured his leg.  Then, I got the Par OA-50 and as we can't get up the tower, it will be on a painter pole, hoping for some luck.

O.K., then I get to feeling crappy and my legs start to bother me.  Turns out I had cellulitis in both legs = trip to hospital and light duty for several weeks.  So, I'm hobbling around with wraps on my legs and ankles to keep them stable, as I realize both how much money I didn't make during my time off, and how huge the hospital bill will be.

The good news is that I finally got a QSL card from one of my very first DX contacts in the Ukraine.  I had forgotten about him as it had been so long.  I also got a neat card for a maritime mobile contact during museum ships weekend.  I was looking at my own log, and the stack of contacts that I've never sent QSL cards to is scary.  I guess I'll have to devote a few hours to it until they get mailed.

Anyway, it's now November; Thanksgiving is just a few weeks away.  That means turkey, stuffing, pumpkin and pecan pie!  Oh, let's not forget Black Friday sales.  Anyway, I hope everybody has a great rest of the year, and holiday seasons.
