The W3YJ repeater has linked up to echo link to the Hurricane net in monitor mode. This will allow us to listen to it, and still retain the use of the repeater if we need to. So if you are a ham or have a scanner tune to 443.45 to hear the news of Hurricane[…]
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[…]

Tonight I setup my 40m attena to tune around the 20m band of the ammature radio band, while I did not key up (still have yet to make any contacts on my new privileges that passing my general exam granted me) I did enjoy tuning around. It took me some time to get my attenas[…]

I think Nintendo is make a mistake with the “game key cards” the new digital only game cards that Nintendo is doing. With the situation where more 3rd parties are doing those instead of a real game card. I will not buy a game that not fully on the disc or on the cart, which[…]
Well looking at the new switch 2 that is to come out soon, I originally was excited and was thinking of pre-ordering it. But after the news of both the system, and the games, my doubt started to set in. Then I looked at the launch line up, and found none that I wanted. And[…]
