Well it seems that this morning (Sunday) I once again missed my chance to sneak the weighted line over the tree branch in my front yard. For some silly reason (like my 14km bike ride) my knees and ankles were a bit stiffer than I would have liked and moving around for the first part of the morning usually was done in conjunction with a creaking sound (knees) and a deep moan coming from me… By the time I was feeling a bit more mobile or able to move around without discomfort it was too late and the neighbourhood had come to life… I will try again on Monday if the knees are willing…
Today has been an exceptional noisy day with “30 over” signals on 80m and even 40m was almost to an S9. If I don’t get this noise problem corrected soon I could become a DXer ( as 20m and up is normal )or stuck on the VHF bands working 6m/2m and 70cm…
On the brighter side it is a fantastic day in Ottawa so at least I can sit in the back yard and soak up the sun…. I might even take the 817/W3EDP combo out for part of the afternoon if my legs agree to the work….
