Sunday objectives

 Today, I have 3 aims. We'll see if they are achieved!

1. To go on 10m  QRP WSPR with my beacon.

2. To go on 8m QRP FT8 TX with my QMX+

3. To mend the PL259 plug (re-solder) on my V2000 antenna for 6m, 2m and 70cm.

UPDATE 1140z:  Well, 2 objectives net!  I am on 10m QRP WSPR and have mended my V2000 antenna plug. I seem to have issues with my PC not producing audio on any band. I may have to re-install WSJT-X in case that has got corrupted.

Plans for today

Today I have several aims:

• Sort out PuTTY so I can increase the audio level on FT8 using my QMX+.
• Try the QMX+ on 6m FT8.
• Try the QMX+ (again) on 10m FT8.

UPDATE 1937z:  I failed!  In the end I just went on 10m QRP FT8. That's the problem with being retired: there is always tomorrow. Things can wait.

Short-term Aims? - NOT amateur radio

Perhaps this is a natural feature of old age? I seem to have aims that are more short-term these days. Perhaps I am more aware of the finality of life than I was and every day is a gift to be enjoyed. Life is never perfect or easy, but there is so much to be thankful for.
