Day 8

It's wild how you can build a whole relationship with someone around an idea, but you can have totally opposite understandings of what that idea means.

Truth in facts or Truth in feelings? Also, the song "Lemon Tree" will never be the same.

Love this! I built my first AM radio last year. It was a great experience and I learned so much!

Many questions asked by new hams can be answered by understanding propagation. This will tell you what kind of radios and antennas you want to meet your needs and interests.

Sunrise FT8. Right after I took this picture I got a nice little pile up out of Europe.

In addition to my HF transceiver, an SDR with a wire out my window, and a small battery powered receiver, I also have this antique Grundig in my bar room that still works!

Who else was first exposed to FT8 accidentally before having any idea what it was?

My grandpa sent me this radio in the mail when he found out I got my ham radio license. It's opened up a whole new world of interesting, frustrating, exciting, and rewarding endeavors. It's been wonderful. But why can't the HOA feel the same way?
