Dennis,

I am sorry to hear this. I hope Melissa improves. You two have been special friends to me for many years and you are in our prayers.

I remember Stan Krueger, K5AS did something interesting with the little Elecraft QRP rig and maybe an Outbacker mobile antenna on a portable set up. I’ll see if I can retrieve something on that.

She had a third stroke while in rehab, so her situation is not favorable.    She is still in therapy at Russellville Nursing and Rehabilitation Center.

I could walk out into the courtyard and work handheld CW.  Well, I could do that if it wasn’t always forty-eleven below zero…..
