Lunch yesterday - NOT amateur radio

HF conditions
Now is an excellent time to try HF radio. Sunspots are expected to peak soon, although conditions could be good for several years. In the past I have had excellent results with simple CW QRP rigs although I can recommend the QDX which is a 5W digital only transceiver that is very small and very inexpensive. Expect worldwide results with simple antennas. Mine covers 20 - 10m.
More Montenegro - NOT amateur radio
After a good breakfast we went to Porto Montenegro (Tivat) and then up a torturous mountain road with 25 hairpin bends and some spectacular views. We had a simple lunch in the country with local ham and cheese.

Encouraging people
One of the blog readers has made some very good points with regard to Oscar 100. His view is that I should be encouraging people rather than making disparaging remarks. In many ways he is quite right and my comments are wrong.
People are just people - NOT amateur radio
It is very easy to judge people. Whether they are English, American, Russian or from New Guinea or anywhere, people are just people. We all share the same humanity. In the end most want just to live in peace.
