I almost forgot what activating a park was like!
Like many of you, I am a busy person. Thanks to my busy life, most of my ham radio time since about December has just been from the temporary home shack in the master bedroom closet, when I could sneak in a few contacts (come to think of it, I've been spending a lot of time in that closet....my shack/office is still under construction.) This past Tuesday evening however, I found myself near Washington DC, for work, so I slipped over to the George Washington Memorial Parkway and did a quick activation - thanks to a forgotten connector I could only do 40 meters, but I still managed to get in about 30 contacts.
The contacts included some of the folks with callsigns that I'm really starting to become familiar with, like K0ATZ, W8MSC, W4JL, W2RAN, and a few others - thanks for being on the other end!

So what is it that keeps me so busy? Well, my family and work are the most obvious time commitments I have. I travel for 2-3 days every other week, so my home time is pretty important for me and my family. In addition to that, some of you may recall that I'm an adult learner - I'm now 8 weeks away from finishing up my Information Systems degree, so I have just a little bit of time invested in that :-)
Even though family, work, and school keeps me busy, I still find time for my ham radio projects (mostly after the kids are in bed). If you poke around my blog for a little bit you can find the list of all of my ongoing projects. In addition to those projects, I've been working pretty closely with one of the folks whose call sign I mentioned above, on a project that we hope a lot of you out there will like.....but I've said to much already - more on that to come soon!
