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.

We talked mostly about Thanksgiving and family and friends. Tasteless food. And tasty food like strawberry rhubarb pie and apple pie. Happy 78th birthday to K3WD (yesterday).
In person trip to Ham Radio Outlet. RF noise from electric fences.
K3WD congrats on the FT8 contacts with Algeria (Sahara Amateur Radio Club)
