Dayton Hamvention is coming up May 17-18th and I will be attending this year after having gotten my ticket during Orlando HamCation.
Cruise embarkation day is fast approaching! So let us talk about the plan, assuming no issues are encountered with MSC Cruises.
Getting closer to “Cruise Day” and plans are proceeding on schedule. Itinerary changed and visitor operating permissions obtained.
Steps are proceeding in preparation of our cruise later this summer. Visitor license applications have been filed and already have one back.
Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Just sharing my thoughts as Orlando HamCation 2024 comes to a close.
To of my favorite activities to relax and enjoy are sailing on a cruise ship and operating ham radio. So it’s only logical to try joining them together.
Orlando HamCation put together by OARC is one of the world’s largest hamfests, currently second to Dayton Hamvention held in May, is fast approaching.
This year I enjoyed working through radio making contacts to start the new year. I had great results making contacts from the backyard with my FT-991A.
Taking a quick look back at my journey into the HF bands and my log book QSL reports.
Now finally with a full portable operational radio setup I got the opportunity to head out to one of the local registered POTA parks to do my first activation.
We had our first field test of our new logging solution while having a great time during the ARRL Field Day June 24th and 25th.
As we enter the month of June, preparations are underway for ARRL Field Day later this month June 24th and 25th.
Spent the day with others from Osceola County ARES manning the booth at the Kissimmee Civic Center on May 20th, 2023.
Great information comes from being involved with fellow hams through the local amateur radio clubs.
My primary interest in acquiring my ham license was for emergency communications, so getting involved with ARES and becoming a NWS SKYWARN®️ Spotter seemed logical.
Like for many ham operators, POTA is a great way to practice our skills as radio operators. For me this is no exception.
Osceola County is a Storm Ready County and will be having their 2023 Before the Storm hurricane preparation event this month.
