I hold the view that Ham Radio is actually quite stressfull hobby, more so as I get older. I
almost 
envy my pal who sits and reads Dickens' novels all the time.
Perhaps this is why my list of 'projects started' is very much longer than those completed
. Skywave and myself had a terrible time last winter building endless published designs of RF Voltmeters, none of which worked to their claimed specs. The therapy bill was enormous.
