I have been spending a fair amount (actually, almost all) of time on 6m as HF has been pretty soft with all of the solar activity. I have upped my grid count (17 new ones confirmed so far) on 6m to the point where I am almost ready to send in for my 175 grid endorsement. I do legally have 175 grids confirmed, but 2 of them are via paper QSL's and I would rather wait until I have 175 on LotW to submit.
I have also been somewhat neglecting POTA, but that is also because of the soft HF conditions. I may be getting a bit of an "antenna upgrade" here Monday. My car with the antenna is parked literally under a big tree. And vertical antennas and trees don't coexist very well, or so I am told. On Monday the tree is coming down, and hopefully that will increase both RX and TX capabilities.
ARRL IDC is next weekend, and I plan on hitting that one hard! Will run QRP with the FT-818 this year and run all of the bands 80m - 10m. I hope that the bands are in good shape!
I will not be posting Weekly Updates anymore as it is more convenient for me to do a quick post when something occurs. I will update the stats weekly if needed.
