HI Byron....there is no question that I am guilty of this.  I just don't have the energy to get on the air much.  My home station is down right now and I just don't have the "go power" to drive up to the contest station and operate.  When I first moved to Hemphill, I got on the air every night day after day.  But finally, activity died out and so did I.

I need to get the home station up and running.  The 6M antenna needs to be replaced as the SWR on that antenna is way above 3:1.  I just can't see to get the antenna guy over to do it....

I can be available on a schedule basis for anyone that needs TX on 6M thru 432.  Question:  Is there anyone out there that still needs TX??

If you don't already get on the bands on a regular basis please try to get on more 
regularly and provide contacts for us operators that are in there day in/day out, looking 
around for contacts and doing weak signal work. It sure would be nice to have you on the 
bands more than just a few times every year.   Byron W5FH
