I went for a physical last September with my Primary Care Physician , and his EKG machine was down , so he suggested at your age , you should have a stress test done . I went for a consult last Wednesday , and the cardiologist the same one my wife Marianne goes to told me I had an abnormal EKG Something about left branch bundle block or something . So now I'm wearing a heart monitor for a month , and I go for a cardiac ultrasound on Friday and a stress test on March 19th . A follow up visit with the cardiologist in April will decide how we tackle this .

Max Net at 7:00 PM 00:00 UTC . I turned the KX3 on and went to 40 Meters , where I usually keep it parked at about 7.038 MHz . There was RTTY all over the band way down into the 7.030's I expected as much as yesterday was the RTTY Roundup . However , I remember when I used to participate back in the 90s , we strove to try and not go below 7.060 MHz . I suppose with the proliferation of software that doesn't require you to use a TNC anymore , that there are way more participants than there used to be . And I guess that's a good . thing I enjoyed the RTTY

I thought they'd be slam dunk , easy peasy . I was wrong , again I nabbed both pelts but it was far from easy and this is probably why the k Index was 3 and these were the band conditions for the : night Fair was being generous at least from my QTH .

I am so out of practice , that I was embarrassed how my fist sounded on Straight Key Night . I only made two QSOs , and for the second I switched to my Vibroplex Original . Can you imagine that I sound better on a bug than I do on a straight key How pathetic is that I've dropped a long way off from my Novice days , which were completed entirely with a Nye Viking straight key . nbsp I suppose given time , I could get my straight key fist sounding reasonably decent again , but if I'm going to go mechanical , I'll stick with my bug .

It all started last February when I was induced into purchasing a 250-watt dummy load resistor for a couple of bucks from AliExpress. Since then, I’ve been bombarded with emails from AliExpress almost daily.
