I don't use this antenna often for transmitting, so I am using it as an antenna for my SDRPlay RSPdx receiver. The SDRPlay is employed because my main transceiver, a Yaesu FT-991A, has quit working again, the second time three weeks after warranty service. I drove up to RF Connection in Gaithersburg, Maryland, to buy five of the PL-259 connectors, crimp with solder on the center pin. I bought five, because I thought it might take five tries to do one successfully. As it turned out, I succeeded on the second PL-259. In the process, I learned that those fancy cable splicing tool are more trouble than they are worth. A hobby knife does the trick. Also, I have a drawer full of soldering tools, but the only one that really works is my butane powered Solder-It. Also notable during the past week is that we had a bat flying around the house. I was wondering why the cat was moving around so much. Then I saw the bat gracefully flying orbits above the bed. I thought I had it sequestered in the bathroom adjacent to our bedroom. But later I saw it in the bedroom itself, so closed the door to that room. The Arlington, Virginia, animal control officer came over at 4:30 am. He searched the rooms for about an hour but found no bat. It may be hunkered down among the clothes in the walk-in closet. The plan for tonight is stay awake in the bedroom, hoping that it reemerges, then try to isolate it in the bathroom or the screened balcony. The bat is behaving perfectly normally, certainly not aggressive, but I'm afraid it will have be tested for rabies. We have no idea how the bat entered the house. After the previous bat, about three years ago, we had our chimney and fireplace extensively and expensively rebuilt, with critter-proofing. Apparently, that did not solve the problem. This has also been a week in which the bad news about US international broadcasting under the US Agency for Global Media became worse. Our first story this week is about the Trump Administration's plan to reduce the USAGM workforce from 1,033 to just 81. If you want to weigh in on this, write to your members of Congress, especially if they are Republican, because they have more influence in this matter.ﾂ A video of last week's Shortwave Radiogram (program 403) is provided by Scott in Ontario[0] (Wednesday 1330 UTC).
