Catching up on QSLing

Wow I have not posted in awhile. One reason is I have been busy on the radio. I will try to post an activity update soon. However if anyone has QSL'd me recently or have been expecting a QSL from me you are in luck. The past day or 2 I have been catching up on all my QSLing. I have a handful more cards to get out. So if you have been waiting for a card it should be arriving soon.

What makes an engineer and/or ham radio amateur??

Weekend radio fun

This weekend was a good radio weekend. I started the weekend working Crete, Northern Ireland, Spain, Portugal, and Serbia on 20 meters. I then proceeded to work my first 20 meter split contact down into Australia (Lord Howe Island). Very neat indeed! I also made my first 17 meters contact, which happened to be to Italy.

July 1st was Canada Day, and I also made 7 Canada Day RAC contest contacts.

I also finally fixed my 2m/70cm antenna situation mobile. This means I am back on APRS operating as W1WRA-9, and can rag chew again on VHF while mobile. Now to whip the 706mkiig back into shape in the mobile. Hmmm....
