Comments:
Field Day in December. We still don't have power. It's 19 degrees F outside.
Had enough battery power to run QRP, and my aerials weren't knocked down. Used
a kludged together radio that had contacts twisted together by hand. Operated
by Coleman lantern and hand logging. I learned several things:
Some times the weak ones come back.
A rig with no AGC allows you to monitor the swings of propagation.
W0JPL a stone's throw away will take your head off if you have no AGC.
I can maintain the house at a balmy 51 deg with no furnace.
Carbon Monoxide doesn't give as nice a buzz as, say, a nice merlot.
73 and thanks for listening. Jim N0OCT
