I've been spending a lot of time lately trying to get transmission gear to behave and at the same time trying to pay the bills. As of late, things have been piling up faster around here than I care to admit, and progress on the transmitters and associated gear has been going far slower than I anticipated. The looming date of Halloween, this list of things that must be finished beforehand brought me to a conclusion late last night that I didn't really want to admit, but now have to. For the last six years or so, this has been my hobby, and one of my few remaining ways to blow off steam and have a good time. Lately its become too much of a burden on my time and finances. I'll never say I'm not coming back, but without a functioning transmitter and the spare funds to go out and play, it looks like its going to be a while. Rather than half-ass something together, when we relaunch, it will be bigger and better than ever, even if only noticeable from this side of the mic.
I thank you all for your support over the years, your reports, and sticking through the rough conditions. Needless to say unless something happens over the next month or so, Halloween is probably off the table, as are any show for the following year.
I'll still be hanging around the boards and helping folks where I can.
Thanks all,
