I’m in a really good place right now. Not emotionally or spiritually. Just on the couch with my old dog…

The cold front rolled in here last night. Thank you Canada for sharing! Woke this morning to 56F and immediately opened the windows in the shack to drink it in. Some might think it’s too chilly in here right now, but I love it. Forecast for today and tomorrow is sunshine with a high temp of 75F. A glorious foretaste of the Autumn weather that can’t possibly arrive soon enough for me.

Received a small cluster of LoTW confirmations this morning. I guess some folks really do wait to upload once a month as I see an uptick in results on the first day of most months. In the batch this morning was confirmation of a contact I made with Georgia a few weeks ago. No, not the Peach State, the country. There were others, but that was the only ATNO. I also got one more confirmation for a needed grid on 50 MHz so the slow march toward VUCC on six meters keeps rolling along.

I’ve been hanging out on 40 CW this morning hunting POTA activators while sipping coffee. The band seems short to me, but five in the bag so far and I think I’ll stop at six for the day. I’m up to 908 unique parks worked and I intend to retire from chasing POTA when I reach a thousand parks so I’m that much closer to ending this quest.

The North American QSO Party (CW) takes place this weekend and I might dip a toe in those waters if for no other reason than to run up my CW numbers for 2025.

Maybe I’ll see you down the log this weekend?
