I'm on 4 different meds for the time being and suddenly feel really , really . old Boy , this is a far cry from the days on my 20's when I would cycle around 100 miles a week and had a resting pulse of about 60 BPM . nbsp So I haven't been much in the mood for radio . And I should add , not only because of this heart thing , but also because of the cold and the basement being an uncomfortable space . This weekend we're supposed to go above the freezing mark for the first time in a long time , so maybe I'll get the chance to get on the . airThe Rise and Fall of Heathkit Steve Leibson begins this six-part series with, “If you came of age in the 1960s or 1970s and then later became an EE, chances are you’re more than casually acquainted with Heathkit.

Pages Home Portable QRP Ops Morse Code Operating Mixed Media NJQRP Skeeter Hunt Suppliers Tuesday , January 14, 2025 My apologies for not posting lately But as John Lennon wrote , Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans . 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
