Listened to the shortwave last night for a few minutes. 49m through 19m bands open. The new inverted L antenna preformed well. I got an email saying the antenna tuner was on it's way and should be here next Tuesday. I hope they have it fixed. As the solar activity remains low and so only the stronger stations are being heard. The conditions should be improving over the next three years or so and better overall for the next 5 years. So, while it is low now, I look forward to an increase in conditions and reception of distant station.
Yesterday was a productive day. Breakfast with Eric, then we both got haircuts, grocery shopping, finished up the antenna installation, moved furniture to set up the radio "shack" and the wiring.
Waiting to see if we get any snow tomorrow. No plans for tomorrow (Christmas Day) until 4pm when we all meet at my step-mother and her sister's apartment for presents and dinner.
Merry Christmas!
