I did not check into the traffic net last night, but when I checked in tonight, I was informed that the traffic I sent from Columbus Oh on Sep 30 arrived to the destination yesterday (October 9) That is about 10 days for it to be delivered. I would have thought it would have taken[…]
I submitted the TRAMA podcast to the iTMS to be listed in their podcast list, yesterday I did a search for it in their system and it was listed. This might help incease the number of poeple that will subscribe to it.
Last Friday I was in Columbus (as you can see from older posts) when I was there I hoped on their traffic net. I sent back a radio gram, a Radio Postcard if you will. And as of tonights traffic net it had not gotten here as of yet 🙁
The ARRL is reporting that the BPL test in the SWPA area is going to be stoped. They are citing the high cost of a full-scale BPL rollout and competition from cable and DSL service. This is good news, because BPL causes interference for both FEMA and Ham Radio. This is a great victory for[…]

I tried to get some people interested in the bike ride tonight after the 88 traffic net tonight. But no one seemed to be interested. I am going to keep trying to get people interested. But here is some information about the ride for the hams that don’t get on the 88 traffic net. I[…]
I am thinking about seeing if I can get a bike ride going of the hams in the Pittsburgh area, I first mentioned it on the traffic net tonight. I came up with the idea when some one else on the traffic net said that he went for a nice bike ride today. I found[…]
