However, S9 interference from all manner of electrical gadgets, neighbours' household wiring acting as QRM transmitting aerials, overhead telephone lines merrily pulsing with data, planning issues, risk of neighbour conflict once metal and wire is raised in the air, risk of blame once anyone's TV reception has a wobble, prolonged lousy HF band conditions, and now the knotty issue of earthing raised in this thread...
So, I've had an idea: Let's forget it and do something else.
It was all so simple years ago. No wonder amateur radio is dying.

Yeah not sure what is the real attraction of radio hobby, but what makes me to like it would be, that there is always something to learn, and something try out. When I learned something new, and when things work as they should, it feels good.
And even after long QRT, I keep coming back to it, which seems implying there is some karma stuff going on between radioing and me
