Isn't it amazing how many abbreviations there are in ham radio? My handy-talkie is defective, it fell out of the hospital bed a few times too many times and now I have to use a rubber band to pull the on/off knob to one side to turn it on and off.
On the SB-200, the meter light went out. I wish I could fix it.
I mess around on 40 meters most days checking in to a few traffic nets. You can find me in the 5th region traffic net on 7.280 at 10:30 am- CST, and 7.243 at 3:30pm. Currently, I play Net Control on Tuesday morning, Wednesday morning and afternoon, and Friday afternoon.
Occasionally, I check in on 20 meters to the Maritime Mobile Service Net on 14.300mhz.
During natural disasters, I run through the bands lookiig for emergency nets so I can relay stuff, if needed.
I do try to sell ham radio related mugs, hats and other stuff.
You can see 2 of my designs on the right hand column of this page. I have a store called Observations.
Something else I do is check in on the Freewheelers net on 3.916 just about every night at around 10:30.
I also like to go bicycle mobile with my ht and a 5/8 wave antenna.
I have made many videos documenting my amateur radio activities and you can find them here by using the links list on the right hand column of this page.
Something else I like to do is go to ham fests. The Jackson, Mississippi hamfest is coming up at the end of December. One of my friends already asked me if I want to ride with him. I said yes.
I do exchange QSL cards, but I haven't been doing much CQing lately.
Have you ever checked in to a OMISS net? They just send signal reports back and forth and, man, you can get a lot of qsl cards this way.
Okay, there's a little update of my activities. I hope you are having a wonderful life where ever you are.
