		<description><![CDATA[During the past two years I have become ambivalent regarding Sunspots. They are way over rated. Sure they facilitate loads of DX and the higher bands open up.

		<description><![CDATA[Sigh. Too many lightening bolts to make a dent in NEQP this year. 24 continuous hours of electrical storms took the starch out. I had fun though. It is a great low impact contest and well run too boot. CW LP with wire antenna.

		<description><![CDATA[Well today is a trial run for my station and I. Last year I spent a lot of time with the New England QSO Party and I only maintained a paper log book.

		<description><![CDATA[I have been abducted by the Siren Song of WSPR. Saturday morning I finally got around to reading about this latest iteration of K1JT&#8217;s weak signal protocol and downloaded it for fun. I warn you now-if you are short on self control don&#8217;t do it! It is very addictive and opens a lot of possibilities.

		<description><![CDATA[Several days ago a contributor to a small QRP  group of which I am a member made a provocative posting. He suggested that 25 watts of RF into a vertical antenna, ground mounted, was sufficient to violate RF Safety guidelines.
