Journal Entry: 1/29/2010

Was rather sick Thursday night. .... I had to skip work. Stayed in bed most of the day. Today I went back to work, but didn't stay for breakfast. .... ARES [Amateur Radio Emergency Service] is on statewide stand-by. I tried to check in, but Echolink [a program that uses Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) to link Amateur Radio stations] wasn't working on the repeater end, again. I tried to make some QSO's [Ham radio contacts], but propagation wasn't in my favor.
