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
