Suf­fered through July recov­er­ing from Rocky Moun­tain Spot­ted Fever (foot­note: don’t get this unless you have a month to waste feel­ing absolutely mis­er­able and enjoy mas­sive doses of antibi­otics). My extremely low energy level has kept me from the radio. Haven’t felt like con­test­ing much.

Skipped WAE CW, missed three ses­sions of Thurs­day Mad­ness, had work com­mit­ment dur­ing NAQP CW and not sure would have shown up if I were home. This damned tick stole my mojo!

So I still have a bunch of stuff I need to do in prepa­ra­tion for fall start­ing with the Ten­nessee QSO Party. My par­tial list:

- Wire yagi point­ing W for 20 and 10M
 – Replace 20M EDZ with 80M dipole with ladder-​line feeder.
 – Install 40M loop for N/​S
 – Get some­thing in the air for 160M
 – Move sta­tion back to spi­dery base­ment
 – Make up some coax­ial stubs for SO2R (man­u­ally switched)
