Chicago 2nd day

Today is 8/10 @ 8:58 AM. I have Jimmy off to school, breakfast was egg in a hole. I got a part at Home Depot so will install it and see if it works. Kristy showed me Pandora on my iphone and boy I like it, 4 part southern gospel is all it plays, that great.

I have a Yaesu FT 817 running 2.5 watts SSB on 40 mtr, I am using a base loaded 10 foot whip and have made contacts in Hibbing MN and Iron River Mi, thats 400 miles from Chicago. Will try 20 Mtr now. Just made a contack in Md on 20 mtr SSB

I am doing my Pepaw thing this week in Chicago. Jim has a 3 day meeting at his company HQ. I give Jimmy his breakfast, pick him up after school, supper, bath and play time and the rest of the time is mine. Wow, that's Pepaw time. I play on the computer, Ham radio, etc.
