JamesJust venting and whining. Tried to string up a simple dipole this morning and after 2 hours of futzing realized my solder joint was broken on one leg and can’t seem to get it to stick again. Just feeling frustrated right now.
Abraxas3d W5NYV@KI5FGS 100% understand.
@abraxas3d thanks, I appreciate that. I know we’ve likely all been there and tomorrow is another day. Anyway enough radio for today.
J.C. KC8JC 📻@KI5FGS @abraxas3d The best thing about a hobby is being able to put it down when you’re frustrated.
It’ll all be there tomorrow and you’ll get it going.
@abraxas3d @KC8JC thank you. I appreciate the encouragement
Andreas, DJ3EI, he/himNot sure it helps you: When things don't work, I sometimes comfort myself with the thought: If everything worked on first try, it wouldn't be quite as much fun if things finally do work.
I've "enjoyed" my share of connections that should have been there but weren't. Both riding trains and in antenna work.
@dj3ei @KC8JC @abraxas3d excellent observation, I appreciate the encouragement and reminder to have a healthy perspective
