Well this one is going to be a short on, just wanted to get something up so you didn't think I'd given up. Not much has really happened Ham Radio Wise this last week. I did take the HT with me to take, and pick up my Mom from work a few times. I did get my friend Richard (KD0JWY) on one of those trips! He was making some deliveries, and had his HT hooked up to a Mag Mount Dual Band Antenna on his vehicle. I was getting him on a repeater from Bois D'Arc, Missouri. He was coming in loud & clear, me just using the little "Rubber Duck" antenna that came with my Yaesu FT-60R. I talked to him for a while, but then had to go inside the store to pick my Mom up from work.
So that's pretty much everything that happened this week! I know not very exciting. I'm doing pretty good myself, still haven't gotten the Kenwood TS-820 set up yet. Still haven't gotten a coax feed line to hook up my 10 meter Dipole with. This coming Saturday, 6/16/2012, is the next meeting of The Southwest Missouri Amateur Radio Club (SMARC). I'm really looking forward to the meeting! I'm sure it will have a lot to do with Field Day, which is next weekend.
I'm really excited to participate in my very first Field Day!! I plan to take my D-SLR, and get lots of photos! I may also take my Mom's camera, a Canon Power Shot S5 IS I had before I got my Rebel XSi. If I do, I'll shoot some video to post on my YouTube Channel. I don't really have anything up on it, other than a cheesy video I uploaded several months ago about what I intended to use it for. I'm rethinking that, and may use it as an extension of this blog. So I'll have more details about that coming up latter. Also I have not been back to SquidFoo in a while, not sure how the progress on the Internet Media Studio is going. I will be sure to ask about that at Saturday's club meeting!
Well I hope everyone has been having fun in the world of Amateur Radio! I haven't had any comments yet, don't be shy!
