KD4HAX discussed efforts to find a Ham friendly QTH just across the border in WV. There are non-HOA QTH available, and they are often a better investment, because they can be redeveloped. Real Estate will also be a good investment hedge against hyperinflation. K3WD is putting in solar power on his QTH. W0MPM verified that the Monday luncheon is still on at 11:30 at Wegman’s.

Some unusual propagation conditions tonight on 75m. Normally signals at K0ZR QTH are much stronger on a 75 foot height inverted Vee compared to a full-size vertical, but tonight the reverse was the case. Some stations were readable only by use a beverage antenna. 10m was nice and quiet tonight. Most notably, the solar flux is higher than I have seen in several years so this is the time to do some HF operating.
