Well, it’s been a while but there’s some news with regards to where I’m at with radio. I tested for my General License and passed on 4/18/2015. So, since March, I’ve been spending a lot of time studying along with tending to work.
I began building an End-Fed Random Wire HF antenna with the box photographed below. The left lug is ground and the right lug will go to the wire. I’m hoping to be on-air by next weekend, weather depending. I have some coax to route to the new rig and have to hang the wire. This is all dependent upon how much time I get available between now and then.
Our local Packet repeater has been down for over a month. I will be looking at HF Packet and PSK31 once I go on the air with my new rig and antenna.
