There is this station in San Francisco, running a weather station, and posting weather data every minute from a fixed location. No email address on QRZ.com. Damn fools.

T-21 until I have to take down my HF antenna; the HOA ordered me to. There's no recourse, no easy alternative to quickly get an antenna up again that will not make the HOA gods angry. If there's no HF, there's very little left to do for me in ham radio; I'm not much into VHF/UHF. Out of ideas at the moment.

Thanks to warm temps all of a sudden, I was able to hang my 40m OCFD outside. Alas, the faulty (known beforehand) LDG auto-tuner might have toasted the finals in my IC-718. I'm probably just getting 1W out or so, and am heard only across the street. Well, shit. Need to send it in for repair, or get another used HF radio.
