Don't you need a log and QSLs for that?
Didn't I read that if you use e-QSL you can use Log Book Of The World?

I think that a good operator would be able to pick out CW that would 
give the computer fits without a LOT of signal processing.  We know what 
the other station is trying to say and can fill in the blanks.

RRR, copy 599. Would you please repeat that 3 times so I can be sure and 
you are 599+20

I printed off some photos of the station with my call over printed.  I 
think I'm going to send a copy to e-qsl.

Rain?  I remember the word... Our yard is brown and crunchy. We're not 
even in the drought area...yet.  A normal year the yard turns brown 
around mid or late August.  The last 5 years it was green all summer, 
then turned white, but we never had enough of that to even put the 
4-Runner in 4WD last winter.

Teens? My grand kids are having kids.  My daughter works in South 
America so I only see her once a year. #1 son is in Georgia working as a 
mechanic so I don't see him as often as I see her. She sent her paycheck 
home to pay bills while she was here and then had to answer a lot of 
questions from the TSA as to why she was sending money into the country. 
Why do they care when most are sending it out.

Due to the stroke 5 years ago and a heart attack last August, I'm a bit 
behind on my projects. The Doc did let me go back to exercising (and 
climbing towers) about 2 months ago and I'm up to 13 miles on the bike. 
Averaged almost 19 mph for 13 miles although several miles were near 25. 
  I had to slow up though before I got my tongue caught in the spokes.

Darn medication. I can ride like that and my pulse only goes to about 
113 or 114.  I have to admit that distance at that speed was a new one 
record for me and brought out the Tylenol 3 for my legs which hurt 
anyway.  Statins darn near took my legs away from me, so it's fish oil 
and CoQ-10 now along with an implanted defibrillator. So far it's never 
gone off.


At least with the biking, tower climbing, and working out I am getting 
my strength back. I had about 9 months all I could do was look at the 
scenery and chase DX, which I love, but that grows old in a hurry.

I've worked more countries than that...now as to QSLs or 
confirmations...<sigh>
