It was almost impossible to not work them, sometimes i tried!
Still, come the summer when they come back and i am getting nowhere with my 5w at the beach, i have no doubt i will be very glad to get them in the log.

There was a guy that sold them- Quirky Ham Radio or was it QRP, people seemed to like them, for the fun element if nothing else.

I did offer the wife a couple.
But she is still ill, so she cruelly refused them.

I ate all the party rings.
By myself.
That's why I dont buy party rings.

They took the walnuts out, they are just called whips... unless at Xmas.
However Markies still do an own brand with a walnut.

That sounds fancy.
Just now, fancy is abhorrent!
..as is spice of any sort it seems, and I kid you not, walnuts.
Haven't been able to face a walnut since I vomited on Tuesday.
They mock me when I open the cupboard. Pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, dried fruits all good... walnuts not so.
Weirdly.

Fish finger sandwich and crisps

Fish finger sandwich and crisps

In the continuing saga of not being 'quite right'- last night I had a tuna sandwich for dinner, the night before that, I had a tuna sandwich for dinner; tonight I am having a fish finger sandwich for dinner.

I dont feel like a king, but its food that doesn't turn my stomach.
Yay!
I guess.

40 in the QRZ log. 4 FT8 Chad, Kenya and Japan. 7 satellite, 3 SO50, 4 ISS, the rest SSB N1W, VO1GO and A61BG as the DX.

In between other things, such as going to the shops for Party Rings, my ham radio day was productive enough.
A wee bit of DX, wee being the operative word, some satellite and all voice except a few FT8 with my porridge.

Feeling fine, kid is doing ok. but the wife is floored, it has hit her hard.

I am a cheap man and i struggle to pay for things - weirdly i have a particular problem paying for things where they hold my log- - in some weird way i am concerned if the service goes down i lose my log.

More expensive than the youloop, but also better performance?
