23 December

 Had an early get together with a few family members and played with my endfed antenna.  Made contact on 20 to Edmond Ok from Orange Park Fl.  I have several contacts on 80, 40, 20, 17 and 2 meters. Will focus now on 15, 12, 11(cb) and 10 now and the gulf nations as well as a contact to Wyoming from Florida.  As solar activity picks up conditions should allow it soon on my 20 wat rig.




Merry Christmas to all🤓

New dishwasher

 Got a countertop dishwasher🧐. We had one year’s ago it worked fine then.  It does force us to run it daily most days. Can’t do pots and pans or big bowls and aid fine for two retired folzks😎

This saved our power

 

Our third stay in Texas this trip.  When I plugged in the surge protector (without the power cord) I had an l1fault so I switched to our thirty amp surge, it showed a ground fault. We called it in and they gave us a new site and closed this one for repair .  

As you can see I also made my own plug to surge security lock.  Once I screwed it together I I used a chisel to damage the screw threads.  Now I leave the brass lock always connected an the red lock comes off so I can test with the surge guard by it’s self.

San Antonio for 2 weeks

 Kathy and I were both here around 79.  She was a nurse at Wilfred Hall Hospital and I was at Security Officers School Accross the street on Lackland AFB.

Now in 2020 we are back and retired camping in the area and visiting our old stomping ground.
