I have acute myeloid leukemia also called AML and thyroid disease from exposure to radiation and chemicals. I have not worked around either of these hazards. My only exposure I believe occurred while living as a youngster in the San Fernando Valley.

I was in the hospital 5 times last year and 1 time so far this year. I have had 20 transfusions. I have had 7 rounds of chemo that have made me very ill. I think the medical bills last year were greater than $500,000 and this year may be even higher. I do have Kaiser so much of that has been covered.

For those who donate blood, thank you. I have had 20 units of blood so far. Just last week I had to have another unit because my HGB was below the threshold value of 7.2 with RBC, WBC and ANC also being dangerously low again. My blood is tested twice a week. Blood is drawn from a PICC line in my right arm.

Jim Heath W6LG builds some dipole antennas. One antenna is made from exterior Christmas Lights. He also demonstrates his instantaneous antenna tuner. He shows what happens when we add 100 feet of coax feedline.
