You’d figure after being a ham for 35 years and finally buying a big expensive $5000 radio that I’d spend a whole lot of time playing with it. It’s been a week and I’ve been staying up late listening to a lot of static and sometimes a few guys talking. Yesterday, for example, I had a very short exchange with a guy in Moldova, and a longer conversation with a guy in Guam. I meant to go to bed early (as I also meant to today) but of course I ended up playing radio. There doesn’t seem to be as many people on tonight, which is a good thing. One of these nights I should probably get some sleep. Really, I think that’s it for excitement from me. Just a guy sitting in front of a radio, listening to Morse code. I start hearing it in my sleep, too, so I better knock it off soon.
