I know its been a long time since my last post, but I hope to do better.

Anyway, this past weekend was the International Lighthouse Lightship Weekend and I worked 8 lighthouses. It was fun but it was also hard work as some were hard to hear!

Dayton 2010

2010-05-17T22:15:00.002-04:00

I just got back from the Dayton Hamvention yesterday. I drove out with three great guys - Rick W1RAG, Ron WQ1Z and Steve WA1KBE. The weather was great, the food was great, the convention was great, but most of all, we all had a blast! This was my second time to Dayton and I do plan to go back in a few years. If you are a Ham and have never been to the Dayton Hamvention, you owe it to yourself to go at least once. It's an experience that you'll never forget.
