anymore. I do a lot of Social networking. Once a year though I
dust off my equipment and get out there. I have some hazy
ideas about keeping a digital station running on the same

<p>Lots of "D" and "E" stations. I think I only heard 2 "A"
class. Propagation was OK, but short. There were a couple of
times on 15m where I could hear all the stations in an
exchange, which is not very common. Fading and noise were up
and down. 10m was open, but noisy and I didn't hear nothing
on 6 meters. I had fun....<br>

<p><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;">OK, I've gone
mobile for FD lots of times, maybe 20 or more. I got the
rig in the truck and figured out the new tunings for the
screwdriver antenna. I had everything basically presetup
from last year. So this year at the last minute I decided
to try digital. Did you know that laptops sometimes have
a special power adapter that senses power needs? Well I
did, but it took a while to solder up the connector and it
worked on my windows laptop. However the old USB serial
adapter I had chocked on Win 10. Easy fix right, just
install FLDIGI on one of my Linux Mint laptops. Ha, well
the power fix didn't work on that HP laptop though it
worked on the other HP with Win 10. Well the serial port
worked I guess, but configuring it was just too much in
the truck. Oh well I guess I'll print up some log sheets
and get going in voice mode.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;">There are fewer
clubs set up this pandemic year, I'm curious as to how it
will go...<br>
