Happenings

  • Still don't have the primary station back on the air. Nothing wrong other than a healthy case of late summer procrastination. Maybe this week?
  • Ordered and received a new 1500 watt dummy load from DX Engineering. Thought it necessary given the new amp can deliver full legal limit.
  • Contacts with Bolivia, Kaliningrad, and Costa Rica confirmed via LoTW and these were NEW on 17 meters.
  • QSLs received via direct: HI3/DL4SDW, DD1UN and DL5AN. via LoTW: CE0Y, CP6CL, OL26WRTC, R2FC, RA1AFS, TI8MCC.
  • I'll use the Currahee in the backyard for the Michigan QRP Club's Labor Day Sprint and might double up with the September Spartan Sprint tomorrow night?
