    Well, so far I have got HF mobile installed and have used it on a POTA outing. I think I have all my logging software sorted out. It’s complicated, but once everything is up and running logging is easy to multiple places at once. And, I have rig control and digital modes.

    I have the handi talkie (Wouxun KG-Q10H Quad) and antenna for satellite work. I just need to get them programmed.

    I’ve only got to work 2 contests so far this year. One was okay, and one was…well not great. I think I got that problem sorted out (maybe). I know have a fan dipole and a random wire up. So maybe the next contest will be better. I am looking forward to field day at this point.

    The cw has fallen by the wayside. It’s on the agenda to get back to practicing and get on the air. My schedule got jumbled around this year, and that was one of the things I didn’t make time for.

    We have  a little over half of the year left, and it’s go time.
