Two Euro QSO'S in the log this morning while I was having my tea & banana.
Now off to walk the dugs in the snow.

No #uksnow report this morning.
Wet and windy so far, all the snow came off the roof in the night and everything is dripping as it defrosts.
Off with the dugs shortly I imagine the walking will be pretty bad today, water on top of snow & ice.

My #3dprinted insulator gave up last night, so I've had to go and re fix my long wire antenna.
It's not pretty but it will do for now.

Got a few QSO'S in the log today in-between other stuff, got a couple of WWA stations.
Slow start but trying to work on getting on the air every day even if it's only for 30 minutes. #amateurradio

I think today will be a walk with the dogs, trying to dodge the worst of the #uksnow showers this morning, then the rest of the day ensconced in the shack playing #amateurradio and maybe some #3Dprinting that I want to do.
