I have jacked up feet.

So I got ants in my boots some how and now I have these infected bug bites on my feet. Here is a picture to keep you from eating for a few days.

Ive been needing a hobby. Ive been pretty board lately. I quit working out, I put on muscle to fast to get down to my 190 mark. So i really need to hit up the cardio and eat less calories.

I ended up ordering a HF radio to try and listen to some international radio traffic. I didnt have an antenna so I had to make one. After tuning the antenna I started hearing a lot of morse code. I never learned morse code so I found a program that decodes it for you with pretty good accuracy. Turns out I was listening to people from russia, czech republic and some other places that i cant spell. Here are a few pics.

The wire antenna is for 28MHz and runs North to South so I can hear European countries and the USA. The small ground plane antenna is for 144MHz so I can contact Iraqi repeaters. Too bad there is only one in Iraq and its down for maintenance.
