Here in Florida 2 meters was open across the entire state last night. On FM I was hiting repeaters 200 miles away and on SSB ( 144.200 ) you could work Key west from Tampabay ....

You got to love it ....

 

Haven't been paying too close attention to your situation, Bruce. How're the eyes?

 

In Febuary I underwent this ....

The result was loss of sight in that eye because of cataracts

Then last week we has a 2nd surgery to remove the cataract
I now have about 20/100 vision in that eye .....

Diabetes will tear you up and after 25 years it caught up with me ...

Now I can get back to playng with radios ...

 

Dear god. Well, at least you've still got some vision.

 

Gotta love tropospheric ducting. I worked Florida routinely from Oak Island, NC before I sold my 2M rig.

 

I worked Jacksonville on SSB ( 144.200 ) last night Some locals worked Cuba ....

 

Thanks it has been a mess but things are looking up .... I have 3 years to go to retire and many radios still to fix ....

You just hang there and take care of yourself. Don't do like my Dad and think you'll eat whatever you want because that's what you've always eaten. He is 81 now, but he didn't do what the doctors told him to 15 years ago, and he is paying for it now, i.e. foot and eye problems.

 

This was a wake up call YEP scared the #$%%^ out of me my A1C has gone wau down ...

Thanks again for your support
