That quote from John Lennon has always stuck in my noggin.
As is so painfully obvious, I have not been doing much in the way of
blogging lately. That is because of the title of this post. Life has gotten
in the way of Amateur Radio. Nothing bad, like injury or illness, thanks
be to God - just ....... life. Things to do, like projects at home and
work.
Work has been ....... work. While I am thankful and grateful for
employment, I come home exhausted most nights. I have not participated in
the entire 2020/2021 Winter QRP Fox Hunt season because I am usually out
like a light by the time the 9:00 PM starting bell rings. While the Hounds
are gleefully chasing the Foxes around the radio frequencies, I'm sawing
wood. I'm hoping that as we slowly crawl out of this pandemic that my work
life will return to the way it used to be, pre-pandemic. To use another
familiar phrase, "I'm getting too old for this."
As a result, not much Amateur Radio activity to write about and I certainly
don't want to bore you all with my tedium.
This Sunday, however, the South Plainfield Amateur Radio Club will be
getting together for the first time in over a year to celebrate World
Amateur Radio Day. We are going to meet outdoors in Putnam Park, in our
town and we hope to put NJ2SP back on the air. We will respect all COVID
safety protocols and will mask up and remain socially distant, but we will
be together again ... at last! It will be good to see each other again in a
way other than Zoom, even if we can't shake hands or share hugs. We plan to
be on the air from 12:00 to 3:00 EDT - 16:00 to 19:00 UTC. Please listen
for us. If you work us, you can get one of our great QSL cards, designed by
none other than that Ham Radio art genius himself, Jell K1NSS.
