The very old and worn chain puller I have been using for my antenna construction has been shelved.
I had several near accidents when using it and I have acquired a beautiful ratchet lever hoist with hook suspension
which almost fits in my shirt pocket and can pull 250kg.
I look forward to the next antenna job using such superior equipment.
43 Direct QSL requests were received (and processed) today…. I will print and mail the cards around the end of the Month.
While rummaging in my storage facility, I came across the missing box of processed QSL cards.
I very soon discovered the QSL card from Jim, N7JW confirming an earlier QSO on 160m.
Only North Dakota is not yet confirmed.
The Solar Flux Index is reported at 84 today 
This could mean that the good conditions on Top Band will be coming to an end.
I have been rooting for a new Maunder Minimum, but now it looks like another solar cycle is on the upswing.
At least I made an effort while it lasted…
