Running QRP earlier today, was great. Come home and turn on the base station, and the band is dead. #hamradio

In a matter of a few months I have 1,069 QSO's using ft8. I have yet to make a phone contact other than a net, I'm working up to it. #hamradio #amatuerradio

I got up early, fired up the radio, and did some FT8 #hamradio without realizing I was only using 1w. Still made it to the West Coast from Georgia. Does that mean I just did a QRP by accident?

I am amazed at how far 20 watts will broadcast on 20 m doing ft8. #hamradio #amatuerradio

I made contacts today using #ft8 in Michigan, Illinois, Toronto, and more. #hamradio #amatuerradio

I cheated and let my radio decipher a call sign in cw. Now I really have the bug to learn CW. #hamradio #amatuerradio

Antenna test is a success for listening. Was able to receive transmissions from Iowa and Texas. Broadcast attempt tomorrow. #hamradio #amatuerradio

Setting up to try HF today. Really just putting up my antenna. #amatuerradio #hamradio

Today I remember where I was, who I talked to, and the chaos and heartbreak that ensued. #vpi #vt

Listened to a local net last night, too far away to participate. There is one tonight that I should be able to reach. #hamradio

Tried CQ yesterday afternoon, no contacts. Working up the nerve to hit one of the local repeaters. KR4DDZ

Woke up to my official call sign: KR4DDZ #hamradio

Passed my General license, waiting on my call sign. #hamradio

I have nothing profound to say.

As the week comes to an end I am tired.

Tomorrow it's back to work for me. Setting a goal to finish the book I'm reading this week.
