    Nice list of things to try.

    I run a Winlink net every Wednesday. If you don't have anyone to send a winlink e-mail to, you can send it to me.

    I decided to finally get off my 4th point of contact and go learn code at lcwo.net.

    Great ideas Jason. Made me think of the 'tape measure' antenna that I have been wanting to try to build. And I just happen to now have some old tape measures that I've junked.
    It's amazing what you can think of to do when things slow down and you're not in a rush all the time.

    Boy that clay looks like you can weld straight to it with that iron content...! Such an exciting time! Diggin your (first?) tower foundation! :)

    I like the earthen staircase. I do that too whenever I have some pick & shovel work.

    Finally put my hex up on a homebrew tilt over/crank up mast. Rebuilt a 46 year old HAM-M too. It's FB OTA!

    Stay Safe!

    I dug my hole too, 5x5x6ft, I also had to dig in clay, I used a post hole auger to loosen up the clay, the concrete guy came by for an estimate, he was so impressed with my hole that he took a photo of it!
