Getting 5 tons of coal tomorrow and getting it in our basement. We already had the first frost of the year a few days ago. Don't want to be doing this in -10 degree weather again. Then maybe a classic car show and a harvest festival afterward... depends if I can move or not.
Wow - Frost already ... jeeze
Eh, it's the new norm. We've had frost in mid to late September as long as I've lived here. A few years ago we had frost on the last day of August!

You need what my grandparents had, the truck backs up to the house and dumps the coal into the basement.
That's great if you have a chute and a bin for it. I did bagged, so it was a dirty process of 2 bags at a time over the shoulder... off the pallet, in the house, down the steps, stacked on the pile, repeat.
Yuck, to much like work.

Weekend plans were to go to the local HamFest to see what I could come up with. I need some coax and other misc parts. However that was changed as I'll be solo for a football game and other normal tasks while my wife is off doing CE ... sigh what is point in planning something six months out if someone goes and changes it 3 weeks prior....
I'm thinking pork products and you're looking for coax and other odds and ends? What a dork... oh, wait. Ham radio.
THEY CAN BROADCAST HAM????? Why wasn't I informed?!?!??!?!!??

I gotta get mine now that I can hear again... You still have to do Morse to get your Ham license?
...and does anybody remember W4BKK ?

You guys listening to an numbers stations?

It varies, but most call signs, I think were owned by individuals.

Sweet. I wonder if I could get my Gramps call sign back in the family.
-
@dafyre Good luck with that... I didn't have any options when I got mine... it was just assigned to me.

@dafyre The amateur class is real easy to get, read through the material from fcc a couple of times the night before I took the test.

My gramps had one of the higher class ones, I think. He did a lot of stuff for the military in the first gulf war.
