Combined two hobbies today. Brewing beer and #HamRadio. Today's brew was an Oatmeal Stout. Got pretty close to hitting the predicted numbers, so should finish around 5% in 2 weeks.
During the downtime waiting for sugars to convert and boiling, I went ahead and swapped out my 20M hamstick for the 40M hamstick. Now that it gets dark earlier, I figured the switch might be good. Took a while to get things tuned sufficiently. 1.8:1 SWR is a little high, but functional. 23 QSOs on FT8 tonight.
