This IS good news. Someone may have already mentioned that the birds is likely a mocking bird, rather than a mourning dove.

So sorry, Josh. Praying for a settled solution--and for rest for you all!

I was up too early, and also planned a shorter than normal activation so I could be helpful at home.

Often it’s a random end-fed with tuner. Today it was the Gabil GRA-7350T on the car roof/mag mount. Conditions were good, and hunters were awake!

I did okay. I started on 80, which was quiet on the upper end. Besides 30 & 17 I worked just below voice/beacon on 40/20/15/10. Lots of movement for 35 contacts, but all good!

I had to try 28.165 for my POTA spot, it was so busy!

I have a G106 as well. It’s been sitting in a drawer for a little bit.
