NOVEMBER 3 VICTOR ECHO MIKE

ham radio Projects and musings from a (Relatively) new operator

Exciting Stuff!

     I'll jump out of the gate by giving one last congrats to the activator and hunter that made the most contacts during the POTA Summer 2018 Support Your Parks event!  I picked up the plaques from the trophy shop this week, and dropped them in the mail - congratulations Mike and Brian!

and here they are, all snug in their  boxes, heading out on their trips to the shacks of the winners (with a bit of luck they'll be there by the end of the week!)

This next bit I was going to sit on and not share until next week, but I'm too excited to wait.  Plus, we're planning on moving pretty fast... 

As I write, the last of the drywall sanding is being finished up, but depending on when you read this it may already be partially or wholly covered with paint.  It's amazing the talents people have, and I have a ton of respect for people that do work, which has the ultimate goal of NOT being noticed.  With that thought, let's stop for a moment to admire N3HQN's work, because when you run your hands over this, you can't even feel that it's there, and once the paint is on, you won't be able to see it either!

I think it's pretty impressive, especially when you consider the fact that he was finishing drywall that was hung by someone (me!) who had never hung it before!

Anyway, the next time I show pictures, the shack will be "Colonial Verdigris" and the rec room (which will be a play room for the kiddos in reality) will be "Pink Harmony."  My YL and I will probably be covered in some mix of the two...

    - N3VEM -

         Welcome to my Ham Radio Blog!  This blog was started primarily to share my two concurrent shack builds - my mobile station and my home station.  Over time, this has grown to include sharing about my operations, and general radio-related thoughts that I have as a newer operator.  
         
    ​Enjoy!
