Comments:
That didn't go as planned. Saturday morning I started having stomach problems.
It's hard to hold a run frequency when you have to go upstairs a couple times.
Later in the morning I started getting chills and felt like I was in a bit of a
fog. For example while I was running 20, I was working some stations on 15 with
the second radio, waiting for the band to open. At 11:30 AM I realized the
second radio was listening on the 160 meter receive array. I was able to catch
the tail of an opening to Europe but I missed a lot of stuff. Early afternoon I
couldn't take it anymore so I went up to bed, shivering uncontrollably. I tried
again Sunday morning and went back to the easy chair after an hour. At least I
have my sense of smell and taste.
Kudos to radio manufacturers who have given us radios with superior receivers.
But goodness, can we please have a similar focus on transmitter signals. There
are far too many stations on the air with bad clicks.
