Haven't posted on here for a while. So, what have I been up to? On the health side I have been diagnosed with Ulcerated Colitis and Inflammatory Arthritis. The latter is the one that causes most problem. I am currently on steroids, which completely clears any symptoms. I wait to see what happens in a couple of weeks. I am lucky to be under the care of the 'min' one of the leading hospitals in rheumatic diseases.
On the radio front I recently purchased an FT991. This is my first radio purchase in about thirty years, so is a steep learning curve to get to grips with a modern transceiver. Itis, though great fun and I am enjoying FT8, a digital mode. Not everyone's cup of tea but is exciting to be able to see where in the world your signals are being received.
As you may know I was trying to obtain my advanced bike test. However, that had to take a back seat while I was getting the rheumatic problem under control. Hopefully with the weather improving I will get to ride for freewheelers this year.
So, there you have it. I will try and keep this up to date and post informations on various things. It may just help someone.
