My fancy ham radio kit is almost finished!

But instead of staying in the basement all weekend, I had a bone marrow aspiration, a visit from an old grade school friend, breakfast with Greg, a beer with Megan(!), and the fireworks to watch. Oh, and I ran the wood chipper all this afternoon.

So now I’m too tired to finish the thing. I only have to mount the speaker, and I’m done. But, wait, I still have the 100W amplifier, the SSB adapter, and the 60M adapter to build. It’ll be another week or more before it’s all done.

I didn’t think bone marrow aspiration vs. a biopsy (core sample) would make a lot of difference, but I think it doesn’t hurt as much. We get to see just how good the fancy drugs work.
