What keeps me going...
My homebrew projects keep me interested. The attached pics are my little 6AG7/6L6 transmitter that I use with either my NC-57 or RME-45 receiver. It was fun to build and every QSO is rewarding, even the boring ones, LOL.

My last really active period was doing message handling, I was a local 2 meter relay for MARS back in the days of the Gulf War, bringing messages to local families from the troops. It was a very rewarding experience. Maybe it was because my entire ham experience has been limited to the 2 meter band.....

I have stopped using 2 meters because of the crap that goes on there. I have restricted my operations to HF and frankly have had an immense ball. I have worked over 300 countries. I even decided to put up a second tower for the WARC bands. The fun is limitless for me; You can usually find me on 20 meters, CW or SSB, but I go everywhere in HF, all modes. And I don't cheat; I don't run high power on 30 meters, for instance, as I am sure others do. No need to cheat when you can have all this fun.
I also don't use profanity and don't talk religion or politics. You don't make too many friends that way. |
