    You need to move down here. Have had 1" total in the past 4 years, with 1 ice storm thrown in. I still get the change of seasons, but not much white chit.

    Yes the FT-991A is a ham radio, I will use it to do SWL I do not have ham ticket so half of the set will not be used.

    In fact there was an Oregon ham with a beam rattling my set on an indoor antenna last week on 10 meters SSB . Me thinks he was running a amplifier. But with the current solar cycle he could have been in the next room it is hard to tell at times it is a very old hobby for me.

    Like a fool I went out to get a package that went next door on Wednesday before my eldest daughter came by, and I had no trouble getting the package and placing it inside the door but getting the chair backwards up the outside ramp was an issue, I pressed my Med Alert Button and all hell broke lose two radios caused the poor person answering the call to not be able to hear me. It took the two ems men to get me and the chair up the ramp, fun was had by all.

    The reason I bought is gone now. I don’t use the pellet stove much anymore.

    It’s a Jotul Rangeley that stove puts out serious heat. I was debating putting in a new larger pellet stove to replace both the wood and pellet but I have access to so much firewood I couldn’t justify it.

    I am sad to see it go for various reasons but it’s nice to open the room up again too.
