So, I’m starting to get myself prepared for possible nightmare scenarios which I hope never hope come to pass. Hey, don’t laugh – an extended power outage is nothing to sneeze at and what if the water stops flowing? Yeah, not fun. I ended up at Wal Mart yesterday and picked up some cup of [...]  The annual Field Day for the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) and radio hams in general is today and the Las Vegas Radio Amateur Club (LVRAC) is going to be on the air for 24 hours straight down at Sunset park. Sadly, I don’t think I’ll be there for very long. I’m still feeling a [...] I went to my first Las Vegas Radio Amateur Club (LVRAC) meeting last night and joined the club Sure, we talked about the normal club business – stuff like the budget and who’s new but that wasn’t all. We had several members speak about events that the club had helped to make happen. For example, [...] I went ahead and did it last night – I filed the application online to have my official FCC callsign changed to WX2HOT Now all I have to do is wait Yep, I went and spent some money on my radio hobby yesterday.

If you look closely you can see plenty of antennas on that roof. I didn’t want to get too close [...] Actually, I got back on the air while I was writing that last post I hooked up to IRLP and the WINS system to try to catch the Insomniac Net, but I’d forgotten it was at 2300 and not midnight I still had some fun chatting with KC9KHU out in Peru, Indiana and several other [...] |
