Once in a while i get on EchoLink and check in to a saturday net where I
use ¨to live ve3ttt repeater at 7pm, but it feels weird using my android
phone ¨instead of a real radio.  But that's as close as I get to 2m now.

Right now I only have an antenna for 10 meters up, I was going to move and
¨had taken everything down, couldn't find a new apartment so talked the
super ¨where I am into letting me keep my current apartmnet or I'd be
camping in my ¨car today.  So I'm 90% boxed up right now, I unpacked my
FT450, and my ¨Playstation3 to watch movies and there a huge pile of boxes
in the living room ¨hoping I'll find a decent place soon as my knees can't
keep doing stairs.

Would like to put my 20 meter hamstick back on the balcony and maybe the
80m, ¨since suddenly the noise that always killed 80m here seems to be
gone, but ¨now 40m is a wall of noise, and I WAS plannning on getting a 40m
hamstick in ¨2 weeks at the hamfest in London.. ¨
