I think blogging is out. At least for me. I didn’t post anything new last year (2024). Chances are not much will happen here in 2025 either. I still really love writing but the feeling came over me that I was repeating myself. More than once. Because my ham radio operating style repeats itself. Do a contest. Preferably in CW. Try a new antenna. Get frustrated by the weather (wind). That I’ve become a lousy QSLer.
I have been writing about this for ages. Who’s holding his breath for more of the same? Most of the time I post to Mastodon now:
The ham radio crowd is pretty responsive and committed there. No commercial BS, no one decides what I get to see – but me!
In short: I still LLLOOOVVVEEE this radio hobby a lot. And I’m not quitting that.
Oh yeah: the ARRL messed up my LotW account last week. I don’t know when / if / how that’ll be sorted out.
73!

No problem Franki, it is what it is. If you don’t like to repeat yourself you just don’t do it. It is nice to read something from you though, it is always written in a easy way to understand. I still continue blogging and I’ve never com to the point I had the feeling I repeat myself. Although over the years you see the same kind of posts over and over. Still people like it, the evidence I can see in the stats. Hope to meet you soon on the bands. Have a good (DX) year and happy contesting. 73, Bas
