7) Too much time in front of the 'puter, too little time in front of the
rig. (Guilty as charged!)

In an effort to counteract 7), I went on 80 last night around 9:20 local
time. Some DX on the low end, some other stuff all through the band but lots
of wide open spaces. Fired up the Southgate Type 7, called a short CQ on
3530 and had an enjoyable 35 minute ragchew with K4TP in North Carolina,
which isn't DX but isn't local to eastern PA either. 599 plus all the way,
866As flashing prettily. Only had to quit because bedtime comes early in our
house. Good times.

I'm going to try for at least several 80 meter CW ragchew QSOs per week this
summer. Anybody want to join me?

73 de Jim, N2EY
