My 220 radio is still in the original ham shack located in the house. 
So unable to operate 223.50 during the net.

I need to trouble shoot the 150w amp with power meter set outside the 
window for viewing when I keyup  the radio.  Plan to replace two coax 
relays with single transfer relay (KISS).  Amp will not be moved when I 
relocate radio to new hamshack.

Today, I got the smart thermostat wired and have one baseboard heater 
running (2000w) which brought the inside temp to 61F in half an hour. 
Portable 1000w heater could only reach 52F.

But the smart features require WiFi in the new hamshack which is too far 
from the wifi in our house (need to connect cat6 to router in the 
shack).  So able to only set temp manually.  Smart thermostat will 
permit programmed temps (so it can be turned down automatically at night).

Ran out of time to layout and make my 80m folded dipole (maybe this 
weekend?).  Welder coming tomorrow to finish slew-drive installation 
(16-foot dish may get installed within a week).
