Boring alert - this isn’t interesting to anyone but me….. My VHF rotator quit turning and it was a cable problem. I didn’t look forward to finding the break because the cable goes through a tunnel made of plastic gutters, and then underground. When I started looking at it, it took about 5 seconds to see where the jacket was cut, right outside the window at ground level. It was probably a weedeater incident. Anyway, it’s fixed now except for reinstalling the motor.
It’s a little late in the year to put the 6M yagi back up but that’s probably what I’ll do. With high sunspot numbers, I wonder if we’ll have any F2 on 6M this fall and winter. 2M isn’t very exciting. There is very little CW or SSB activity, and I can easily work the same dozen or so stations out to <>400 miles most mornings on FT8. I don’t plan to put 432 back up either, at least for now
Just got Jarvis on 17M CW - not many callers. Didn’t hear him well enough on 12 CW to call.
