I'm starting to seriously hate quote toots.

I wandered out to check if there was more to trim along the driveway, and instead, spotted an Emerald Dove.

So I went back inside and grabbed the camera, and to my surprise, it was still there when I came back.

40m came alive in the last hour, as we started to get close to evening, and as 20m was frankly played out.

I was going to plug my rig into battery, but then saw in the rules that your computer has to be on battery power as well, and I didn't have a way to plug my shack computer into battery, so I didn't bother running the rig off battery.

Then when I went to submit my log, I saw that actually your logging computer can be mains powered, so the rules must have been about the computer you are using for digital modes. Which I wasn't. I did all CW, no multi-mode multipliers for me!

So I could have gotten another multiplier for my 2-point CW QSOs for my solar-charged battery, as well as the 4x QRP multiplier. I could have had 510 points instead of 408 points. Which doesn't matter at all because I'm not actually in any form of contention for anything; I worked only about five hours thanks to all the winter storm prep. And even if I'd worked the whole time I still wouldn't be competitive. I only hunted, I didn't run.

And running only 5W, I didn't even make the antenna wire warm enough to melt the ice that was covering it.

Maybe next year I'll run instead of hunting. But probably still QRP, and maybe actually in the field...

When I was in middle school this girl, Cricket was always talking about her "boyfriend from Canada"

"He's named Kyle and plays hockey. We met on the postcard exchange. He sent me this valentines day card."

We made fun of her. Kyle was obviously fake.

Well. She just married Kyle.

KYLE WAS REAL ALL ALONG.
