The 100 days are over!
Thirty years as a radio amateur do provide some insights.
And this is my final conclusion about this hobby:
-
What good is a shack if there’s no transceiver in it?
-
But what good is a good transceiver if there’s no perfect antenna available?
-
And what good is that setup if there’s no other station or no propagation?
-
But the very worst is having a good transceiver, perfect antennas, and far-away expeditions or propagation… but not being there yourself.
The most important element in the amateur radio hobby is T I M E — free time - being able to be there at the moment you need to be, day and night.
Starting today, my greatest investment ever begins to pay off.
I have closed the door to the capitalist world behind me, sold the most important part of my business, and with a part of that money I bought time — a lot of time.
Enough time to bridge the period until retirement.
Enough time to hopefully be present for at least two more solar cycles and to achieve all the goals I have set for myself.
The new OT1A story starts now…
