As for station improvements... I'm working down a list.

1) S9++ power line noise:

• JV will be coming over sometime this week to help hunt it down. Then we'll get PG&E on the case.

2) Better antenna(s). This will be an incremental effort due to negotiations with the XYL.

1. Europe-facing 15m/30m fan dipole (I put up a dedicated 15m dipole for SS)
2. Replace existing G5RV Jr with 20m EDZ
3. VHF/UHF/uwave improvements over what I have (for what little it is worth...)
4. More radials for the 80/160m antenna then unknown at this time improvements.

Operator skills improvement: More "time in chair" for experience and better skills.

• At some point I'll want/need to "apprentice" at a "real" station.
• Greg N6CK has invited me to go multi-op for the RTTY Roundup.
• There are some things that just need to be learned that way.

Winning the lottery so I can move to a more RF-friendly location.

I _will_ improve and do significantly better. However, my available time is constrained by family commitments.

It's about the improvements at this point.
