Ooops. Sorry I have not posted anything since August.
I have been back down the A1 for another operation at the Spire Hospital in Washington.

As I have mentioned before here, this was a gearbox change and it involved a full knee replacement.
I had fondly thought that this type of operation would not really affect my radio activities much. Sure, it was painful but what would stop me sitting at my desk using the radio?
ANSWER:- Hamstring and quadriceps muscles take along time to get better.
To begin with I could not sit in the shack at all. Even now, more than three months later, I cannot sit in the shack for too long.
All is not lost though. Lately I have been able to participate in a few contests, for a few hours at least.
Also thanks to various people who have accompanied me to events, I have been able to attend some gatherings.
I can operate the radio now and things are gradually getting better.
At first I could get about thanks to a stick. Now I can do without the stick for most of the time. However the stick helps to get a seat on the bus.

Hopefully soon I will be back in full operation.

Hey, Jim,

I wish you a strong recovery. Take the time you need!
Hope to have better antennas next year, so we can test our path on 2,4 and 6 - and 10m?

Thank you Anthonie and Jan.
ReplyDeleteI saw you on PSK Reporter Anthonie and I wondered if conditions would cover both you and OH4MVH. Tnx for report.
Yes, Jan. Let us hope that we can do all four bands!
