Took both down when local noise level got to S-8/9 npub14sutvnprl56ugdvswswmuk9xc64jcq3qca3zfpa22fv9frqstn0qyqn4kd Jim "Ham on a Bike" @npub1k68…qryx I just read you bio on QRZ. Have you had a chance top work on your APRS digipeater and VHF packet station? npub14sutvnprl56ugdvswswmuk9xc64jcq3qca3zfpa22fv9frqstn0qyqn4kd Jim "Ham on a Bike" @npub1k68…qryx Yes sir, daytime conditions have been horrendous after about 1300 UTC in our neck of the woods.

My fear is a dog will raise its leg on that blade of grass. 😅 npub14sutvnprl56ugdvswswmuk9xc64jcq3qca3zfpa22fv9frqstn0qyqn4kd Jim "Ham on a Bike" #Morsecode is so MUCH FUN & can be very ECITIING. Especially when I can impersonate #seamanjones, "The Hunt for Red October" with my HUNT for #K1NF. There are times when patience is on your side. #AmateurRadio #hamradio #pota #parksontheair npub14sutvnprl56ugdvswswmuk9xc64jcq3qca3zfpa22fv9frqstn0qyqn4kd Jim "Ham on a Bike" @npub1708…w86f So do I.
