I want to thank everyone for the loggings here. This was the first outdoor remote broadcast I've done since the mid 1980s, and first attempt at a pirate broadcast outdoors ever. Literally from the back deck, which I call our "poop deck".
It's the first broadcast from WILD/WWBR in six months or so. At the moment, my usual studio gear and processing are all in a big pile somewhere around here while I try to do some deep cleaning. Sadly, progress is very slow.
All my desktop computers had lost power supplies and C drives in a storm, so all I have to work with is two old laptops (OLD!!), an old 80's Radio Shack mixer (older still) and an old rusty Urei BL40 Modulimiter AM processor I had handy in the cabinet (freaking ancient!). I'm very surprised that no smoke escaped from anything, quite honestly.
I was literally about 15' from the feedpoint of my dipole, with absolutely no ground system. Loops? Well, the string of RF burns on my wrists from the metal edge of the table pretty much confirm that. I could feel it in my dental fillings though. The fact it radiated at all was amazing, and the fact my voice lasted as long as it did post-COVID was literally incredible. Last time I was on, it was gone to a rough whisper in about an hour.
COVID has had me and wifey down for a year and a half and we only started to get better after our vaccine shots. We've never been "officially" positive on tests, and have struggled through this at home with no other treatment, and I wouldn't wish the last 14 months on anybody. It's only by some miracle that neither of us wound up in ICU. The only thing I can think is that the pneumonia boosters we had in the fall of 2019 kept us from having the severe respiratory symptoms, but we still get out of breath fairly easily and about once a week, I still feel like I have glass shards in my lungs. If only the severe muscle and joint pain and almost daily migraines would stop, I'd probably feel almost human again.
Wifey finally had the lumbar surgery she'd been waiting on for months, 10 days ago, and I'm doing my best to take care of her by myself. It's certainly not easy with the lingering fatigue, so as soon as I can get time to make an eQSL, I will post it on here. I hope you understand I simply cannot find the time to make individual ones at this point, as much as I'd like to.
Again, thank you all for listening and posting here. Take care, be safe and I'll try to pop up on 43 meters as I can.
Poop Deck Radio via WILD/WWBR
Oh, duh... I was peaking around 45w, just fyi.

Thanks for MacGyvering a way to transmit, and share some of your creativity, from out on the esteemed Poop Deck, and very pleased to hear you're both on the road to recovery!
-
My bad... I gave the wrong email addy out at the end of the broadcast... should be wildradio@protonmail.com. Par for the course, lol.
I have an eQSL made up, but no way to upload it or host the file. If you want one, just send me a note at the email above.
