Drive-by update

Another blog suffering from neglect. So a brief drive-by update:

Received my Wis key Zero call. I like it, it rolls off the tongue, though, being who I am, I've had my share of second thoughts.Wife has gotten a pretty cool November Zero call.

Worked several public service events over the summer and enjoyed them all in one way or another.

Ran a public service event in near by town. Small event that only lasted a couple of hours but it seemed to go quite well. As always there were some bugs, but in the end we learned alot and if we do it again next year we'll be significantly improved.

Completed the "Shack in a box" and will have to do a more extensive post on that. It works very well. FT-897D, power supply, and tuner mounted in a rack box (for audio equipment). Very heavy, but still quite luggable.

Failed start on our Extra licenses. Were well on our way to studying up when real life got in the way. Still plan to do it before the question pool rolls over.

Committing to keep this a little more updated... expecting to fail, but it sounds good right now.
