(From 3/12/06)
After coming home from lunch the kids and XYL went down for a nap.
I used the time to get a 1 hour "competition" session of Morse Runner in.
Went from 23 confirmed QSOs to 36. That's a significant jump, and I believe I'm doing better.
Tried for CW QSOs with JV and Hap, but when the time came everybody was busy. I called CW a couple of times, then investigated the noise on 80, 40 and 20m.
I also figured out how to use the Band Scan and SWR sweep functions on my Icom-706MkIIg.
Went back upstairs for some Code Quick practice, but fell asleep during the lesson.
Bedtime for Donzo.
Lesson learned:
Gotta do something about that noise. It is wiping out my HF.
