[SOC] Possible last one for May 2024

[Gwen Patton]

Good to hear from you, Rich!

Yeah, I'm still kicking. Slowly, the code is creeping into my brain. I was
watching one of the Red Summit videos, where Red was working a pileup, and
I realized I was actually copying it. It wasn't perfect, but this is the
SOC -- I'd be shocked if it was perfect! 😉

The weather where I'm at is improving enough that it's almost time to start
going to nearby parks to play radio. Now the question is, can I physically
handle it? We'll see.

I've got some new radios and antenna to play radio with. My partner has her
Honda CR-V set up with a roof rack and a real nice HF antenna, and is
putting the finishing touches on a case containing a big LiFePO4 battery, a
distribution system, a Raspberry Pi and the gear to run it, and an Elecraft
100 watt amp and her Icom 705 (custom cable for the amp). It's a nice
setup. We also have an sBitX to play with.

So now that we've put so much effort into it, I have little excuse not to
get my butt on the air... But y'all will have to make do with my fist. I
ain't learning to send CW with my tuchis!

73,
Gwen, NG3P
