Can't be all bad.

Even though I don't have all my antennas in full operation, I'm not doing so bad on the HF bands. In fact in the last few days I have been doing quite well on 24 MHz with an 18 foot vertical antenna 28 feet in the air. I logged my first contact to northern Spain on that band. I think I'll be pretty proud of that for awhile, don't you?

With all this fun I've been having on 21 MHz, 24 MHz, and 28 MHz I've managed to send out a total of 18 QSL cards this week to a few states and further abroad. I'm still not complaining, yet I sure would love a break in the weather for the rise of one more antenna.

It sure does feel good to be back on the HF bands again with frequency and the reliability of good equipment; it's been a long time.
