i dont know man, been licensed for about 6 years now and lately ive just been sitting down at the radio and then just... not really doing anything. like ill turn it on, spin the dial a bit, maybe catch a few exchanges on 40m and then wander off to do something else. not sure if its burnout or what. had a really good run last winter doing some POTA stuff and even picked up a few new states on 17m which felt great at the time but now its just kind of flat. anybody else go through phases like this or is it just me

yeah happens to me every summer honestly, something about the heat and the band conditions being kind of garbage just kills the motivation. i usually pick something specific to chase, like last year i decided i was gonna work all the county hunters on 10m and that gave me enough of a goal to stay interested for a couple months. sometimes you just need a thing to point at

honestly i went through this for almost a whole year after i upgraded to extra. felt like i climbed the mountain and then there was just... nothing at the top lol. ended up getting into WSPR just to have something running in the background and that kind of re-sparked it for me weirdly enough. now im obsessed with seeing how far my little 100mw signal gets which is maybe dumb but whatever it works
