Return

 

August 2007

 

 

 

Sold my Icom IC-746 and replaced with a Kenwood TS-480SAT.

 

Just purchased 2mtr & 440 transverters for the 480 – Did I mention I love this radio???!!!

 

Cat control & digital communications established – Catch me playing “PSK” on 10 meters (28.122)

 

Gearing up for some sat work once the transverters are installed.

 

Remote Network of radio set up – can control the 480 any place within the range of my wireless equipment.

 

Contemplating a new Repeater!

 

 

April 2008

 

 

Updated Website!  Yes, I now house my own web server with all the perks. (mail, ftp, dns)

 

Currently awaiting the delivery of my new Dell PowerEdge 1550 blade server.  The current one has 5 sites hosted on it and is running slow.  Shameless plug; www.vanssharpening.com, www.twiceisright.com, www.lowpriceradio.com, www.n9hua.net, and www.southwestclassof88.com.

 

Need to replace the G5RV!  The winter here in Wisconsin did a number on it and now it won’t load up. Will be building a new one here shortly using 450 ladder rather than the 300 twin.

 

Building new office/radio shack in the new addition.  Hopefully this task will be completed this summer and layout is looking awesome.

 

Yes, there will be a return of the repeater with echo link and maybe some digital interface.
