As of Friday, March 2, my medical leave of absence will be finished and I will be back to work! On Tuesday of last week, my doctor cleared me to return to work without restrictions. I did my return-to-work drug test and physical on Thursday and, after waiting almost a week, received word today that I have been cleared to "mark up" (railroad terminology--I work for Amtrak). It has been six months--virtually to the day--since the injury occurred.
I hope to return to doing SOTA activations soon, as well. I plan to start with some easy summits, such as a few drive-ups, first.

Project: LDG Z-11 ProII Battery Installation
This is my next project.
The LDG Z-11 ProII antenna tuner is designed for portable operation. Up to this point, I have been powering it from the same Bioenno 12-volt battery that I power the radio with, by way of an MFJ-1104 Mini 4-Way Fused DC Powerpole Distribution Center. Installation of the battery pack will eliminate the need for the distribution center, thus simplifying setup and lightening the load in my backpack (it doesn't weigh much, but every little bit helps).
