Ham Radio

Not much ham radio recently

[Tuesday evening: 3.5 miles on Watson Road]

I haven’t been doing much in the way of ham radio recently.  Later in June is the annual Field Day where hams try to operate from the outdoors.  The idea is to have a readiness exercise for disaster conditions of various sorts.  Mostly it turns into a picnic and operating day for clubs and groups.  I think the Lowndes County group will be doing something but I don’t know exactly what. I may try to participate for a little bit.

I bought a piece of used equipment for the broadcast station and I think I may have the opportunity to use some of my feeble ham radio skills on that, eventually.

But the spare time is going into the transmitter shack these days and it will probably be like that for quite awhile yet.
