Today, Terry Ryan, KE7GRV returned to the Ham Shack of KI7UP and we spent several hours just talking and attempting jury rigging a connection between my 707 and my computer. Also we looked at my audio mixer that I use to record articles for Amateur Radio Newsline in an effort to use the equalization that [...]

Last night, Thursday about 8:30v PM, there was a single loud knock on our front door. We have a door bell, so this was unusual and normally we don’t get visitors at night. I went to the door and opened it and no one was there but I could see a truck across the street [...]

Here I am still waiting for the microphone to get here. All I can do is listen. Well that’s not totally true. I have spent part of the morning writing down the frequencies for the 3 bands that I can work, 40, 20, and 10 meters so that I transmit on the frequencies that my [...]

I’m waiting for a microphone but I’m ready to go. I want to thank Terry Ryan, KE7GRV for his help in making the antenna, putting it up, testing it and putting KI7UP just that much closer to that day when he is back on the air. I also want to say thanks to Tom Fagan, [...]

Thanks to Tom Fagan, K7DF, the Section Manager for the ARRL here in Arizona, I have an ICOM 707 HF rig. As of right now, there are two things that are needed to get me on the air. 1. I need a microphone. I ordered one, but it came with the wrong connector so I’m [...]

If you subscribe to CQ or QST, by now you have noticed that they have calendars for 2011 available. You have got to promise me, that you will not tell anyone connected with CQ or QST…the ARRL, that I went out last Saturday and purchased a calendar for my hopefully soon to be HAM Shack, [...]

Here it is only 7 days away from Christmas Eve. The Picture is one I took on 12/08/2010, at the Desert Botanical Garden that is between Scottsdale and Phoenix. I wish that I could tell you that KI7UP will be on the air for Christmas 2010, but let’s be realistic. It’s not going to happen. [...]
