No Field Day for me again this year.

 


I had hoped to work Field Day this year, but will be riding for Team Type 2 in the Race Across America on FD weekend. Hopefully finishing on June 27th. Perhaps next year. :)

Renewal is active and I applied for a Ø call.

Yep. FCC is sure faster now then back in 1989 when I got my Novice ticket. (KB7IXN) 

So, not that my current call is good for another 10 years, why not change to a Ø call sign to reflect the district in which I live? Well, I have always beleived that you should have a call from your district, to I took the plunge. I applied for a Ø vanity call. If I don’t get the ONE I applied for, I will keep N7CZ and sign /Ø. 

So, looking at changing my call has me thinking of my previous calls from over the years. They are:

KB7IXN (Novice), N7PUW (Technician/General), KG7PI (Advanced), AA7PD (Systematic Extra), KQ7K (First Vanity), N7CZ (Second Vanity). With any luck, I’ll have a new Ø call soon. I’m not sure how long it takes these days, but hopefully I’ll know the results of the application soon.

Just renewed my license

Woah! Its hard for me to believe that I’ve had this call (N7CZ) for 10 years! I just renewed my license through QRZ’s web site. Guess I’m hanging on to this call for a while longer.  Glad I checked QRZ and noticed it had expired a few days ago.

To change…or NOT to change?

I’ve been living in Colorado for nearly 3 years now. I haven’t been terribly active since moving here, so not thought much about changing my callsign to a Ø ZERO. With the the summer Es season coming and hopefully we will again one day come off of the solar minimum, I am getting interested in at least mobile operations once again. 

So, should I change my call to a Ø? It looks like it would have to be a 2×1 or 2×2. 1×2’s are pretty much gone, or really crummy. 

So, should I? Post a comment with your thoughts or opinions!

Denver (DM79) to Mandan (DN96) coming up soon!

I am excited to get on with this trip as it is my son’s high school graduation and it will be my first time to get my new car out for a road trip. 

I am planning to operate 6M for sure, and perhaps 20M as well. I have to get the antennas back on the car and tested. Then all will be ready to roll!

Gearing up for 6M mobile mid-May.

I’ll be traveling from Denver, CO to Mandan, ND for my son’s highschool graduation. 

Look for me on 6M & HF. 

73,

DX SPOT RSS feed anyone?

Does anyone know of an RSS feed for DX spots? I would like to include a dynamic DX spot listing that is updated every couple of minutes on the site here. (like anyone look at this site.)
