This week’s Thursday Night Roundtable on the 146.985 MHz W3GMS repeater, hosted by Jim (AF3Z), centered on the evening’s question:
“When you’ve had enough of everything and just want to kick back and do nothing, how do you spend that time?”Operators from across the area and via digital modes shared their favorite ways to decompress—from playing radio and working on projects, to boating, sailing, long drives, and simply taking a nap. Many also discussed how amateur radio itself can be a relaxing escape, whether chatting on the air, tinkering with antennas, or enjoying hamfest camaraderie.
A special highlight was the return of Joe (W3GMS) after recovering from a serious tick-borne illness. Joe recounted his hospital experience, the importance of prompt medical attention, and offered some practical tick prevention advice for outdoor events. This sparked further conversation about health awareness, outdoor safety, and the realities of changing tick patterns in the region.
The evening also touched on personality types, with several ops discussing Myers-Briggs and other assessments, and how understanding communication styles can improve teamwork—both in and out of amateur radio.
Updates included:
- Kimberton Hamfest plans and meet-ups.
- Incoming Berry Flex coax shipment for upcoming club projects.
- Ongoing antenna and shack upgrades among members.
- Discussion of band openings on 10 and 15 meters and the mystery of low activity despite good conditions.
