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. 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 went to my first Las Vegas Radio Amateur Club (LVRAC) meeting last night and joined the club I went ahead and did it last night – I filed the application online to have my official FCC callsign changed to WX2HOT Yep, I went and spent some money on my radio hobby yesterday. I got a new dual band antenna for use with my little VX-6R hand held radio. What you see above is an open stub J Pole from Arrow Antennas. It’s useful for both of the bands I commonly use – [...] Every ham radio operator has a call sign that’s assigned by the FCC. They run sequentially and are therefore somewhat impersonal. Sure, you can tell what part of the country someone’s from and possibly what level of license they have, but not more than that. My call sign is KE7VYA. I’ve just got to get me one of these I’m really trying to get back into having the photo a day posted earlier than the next day Yes, I’m getting back in the habit of doing the picture each day like I’m supposed to I would’ve posted this earlier last night, but I kinda nodded off Actually, I got back on the air while I was writing that last post |
