| My club (W3RRR) started doing a 10 meter net on Tuesday nights. It's awesome, except for one thing - I still don't have my home shack done! This means that on the tuesday's I'm home, I either have to throw up my portable stuff, or I have to check in from the car. Last weekend, I had been playing with some stuff with my Buddipole anyway, so I threw it up in this arrangement (most of the folks checking into the net use vertical antenna's for local communication on 10 meters) in the afternoon so that I'd be ready to go for the 8pm Net time: | npotathon 2.0Don't forget about my upcoming big event!

I used my RigExpert antenna analyzer to make sure it was good to go, but I still wanted to make sure it worked, so I called out on the local repeater. Luckily, one of the professors at Millersville University (which is close to us) is a ham, and he heard me, so he ran up to the University's station, and we had a quick chat on 10 meters, and I got to put WA3MU in my log!
Here's the best (worst? most amusing?) part...till Net time came around, the littlest operator was just refusing to fall asleep. I took him for a ride in the car, so he would fall asleep, and I ended up checking in from my mobile instead of using the Buddipole anyway. Oh well - such is life when you have little people in the house!
