Well, I was hoping I would be able to spend some time last night starting a 8 PM with the weekly local net on 10 meters. It didn’t happen. So I’m still wondering if my ICOM 707 with wire antenna that was just last week re-connected were working. So far, and today isn’t going to [...]

I told you that I have had the wire antenna put back in operation for 40, 20, and 10 meters. I have been calling CQ and all the meter readings are correct but so far not one contact. With that in mind, tonight at 8 PM I will tune to the frequency for a Thursday [...]

This week, I was lucky once again to file a report for Amateur Radio Newsline, this week about Indecency and the FCC. [...]

I found this publication very interesting. I guess my real interest in being a Ham is being of help in an emergency. Of course to be of help means that one (a Ham, KI7UP,me) must have the equipment in working order and the ability to operate it when the power is out and the normal [...]

My wife takes her dog, Henry J for a walk most afternoons. While she is “walking the dog” I take my Yaesu FT-60/r and listen for activity and even have been know to carry on a conversation on a local repeater. Sunday, she took Henry for his walk and I was in the front yard [...]
