Silence isn't always empty; sometimes, it’s where the hardest work happens.

For those who have noticed my absence over the last year, I wanted to share a bit of why I stepped away. After my deployment to Western North Carolina following Hurricane Helene, I found myself in a very dark place. While we were there to help, I returned home carrying the weight of what I saw and a heavy sense of survivor’s guilt that I wasn't prepared to handle.

I’ve spent the past year focusing on my mental health, working closely with a therapist who specializes in veteran and first responder trauma. It’s been a difficult road, but I’m learning how to process those experiences and find my footing again.

I am incredibly grateful for the patience and the quiet, steady support from this community. It means more than I can put into words.

Onward and upward.

73,

It’s another beautiful Spring day here in Gastonia. It’s a little cooler compared to yesterday (65° F today compared to 80° F yesterday), but I’m not complaining. So far have made two confirmed QSOs on 70 cm this afternoon. Thanks to Rodney (W2ROD) and Jack (KG4BGA) for the QSOs. I have a work Zoom call at 5:15 PN EDT this evening, so I still have some time left to make more QSOs.

Thinking about replacing my ATAS-120 with this high-tech Fred Flintstone indoor TV antenna. Sure, it might not tune 40m, but I bet it gets solid reception on the Yabba-Dabba-Doo band! Who needs modern gear when you’ve got Stone Age RF innovation?

Check out my new QFX J-220BT radio! When I say this unit receives, I mean it: AM, FM, Shortwave 1 & 2, Cassette, MP3 via USB, Bluetooth, and SD card. This thing is incredible.

Huge thanks to Tim (WSDM786) for giving it to me! I can hardly wait to break this out at Summer Field Day this year—whether I’m jamming out or tuning in to some Shortwave action, this radio is going to be a blast.
