Walton Yantis' TV Debut - TSTC- Waco Joins TXgrid Project

2007-06-30T12:18:00.000-05:00

In my first semester at TSTC-Waco I met an interesting man, Walton Yantis, a UNIX/Linux guru and great instructor. He introduced me to a whole new world of computing, the world of supercomputers. Mid-way through the semester Walton Yantis and a team of TSTC employees and students took a small trip to the Houston area to pick up a large donation from ConocoPhillips of computer equipment that would be used to build a cluster on the second floor of the John B. Connally building. Early in the project I helped clean the equipment and mount the equipment in the racks. I am hoping that I end up actually getting to get a more hands on approach with the cluster in my Linux admin class (taught by Mr. Yantis, and also the cluster is running a version of Linux).

I wish there was more local media on this great advancement to TSTC-Waco, all I could find was the short clip from KCEN-TV NBC Channel 6 News. Enjoy the clip and if you want more information please visit the cluster homepage at watxgrid.tstc.edu or the TSTC-Waco homepage at waco.tstc.edu

Kucinich For President - The Logical Choice

2007-06-10T22:59:00.000-05:00

The other day I got into a discussion with one of my instructors about the 2008 presidential race, she is a fairly progressive person and suggested that it was sad to see there wasn't a more progressive democratic candidate in the top of the polls. Interesting enough I discovered she too was a Kucinich fan.

There are a growing number of people who feel that Dennis Kucinich is the answer to America's cry for someone who will be progressive and provide our nation with a true universal health care system, a massive change in education, more jobs, an end to our occupation in Iraq and a new more informed look into world affairs. All around Kucinch understands the need to bring out the great aspects of America; however, I suppose there are many who feel he is just another politician.

For those who are not aware, Kucinich began his political career in his early 20's and in fact while mayor of Cleveland, Ohio he worked to stop the electric company from being privatized and he worked to hold those paid by the city accountable. Because of his stands he didn't remain as mayor of the city, and while that is very sad to see, it is obvious that there are some who are afraid of real progress.

When someone sits down and they look at all of the ideas that Kucinich has brought forward and they compare those ideas with the other democratic candidates they will see that Kucinich is the only logical choice for president. I hope to raise awareness and perhaps people will go and check out Kucinich. There is a lot of stuff out there on the web including several things posted on Youtube.com. Go and listen to his stance on Education from his speech in Iowa, very touching and it really makes you wonder how much Clinton and Obmama care about education. I am not going to turn this into a bashing of other candidates, they all have there strong points, but all around I will say that Kucinich is very strong and again I will say the only logical choice.

I am waiting for my letter of disapproval

This 16-bit key is apparently very dangerous. The law apparently states that by posting this key I am in violation of the law. I don't have to do anything but post this key on my blog to be doing something against the law. Funny, eh? I am not using it to break copyright protection or to pirate HD-DVDs. However, I am breaking the law? I believe that posting this key should indeed fall under my freedom of speech. It doesn't harm anyone to know that this key can apparently unlock HD-DVDs. I have no idea how it works and I have no desire to make it work; however, the key is there and I should have a right to publish it.

FOSS - It's Free & Fantastic

2007-05-08T21:57:00.000-05:00

The smell of cannabis was strong on the corner of Haight and Ashbury, people roamed with their long flowing hair trying to score acid. It was 1969 and the world was ending one psychedelic decade and about to begin a new one. While hippies walked the streets of the Haight-Ashbury district with large signs promoting an end to the horrors of war, on the other side of the nation two men at AT&T/Bell Labs were working on making history. The works of these two men, Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson, would bring about what many call today the open source movement: the engineering philosophy that all software code should be distributed to developers, the idea that we can all improve on one another’s software without risk of being thrown in jail for copyright violations. All software should be open source.

Distributing software as open source is a key to the best development. In the early stage of software design, software is actually just a few lines of code written in a language that only the computer and the developers understand. Different pieces of software begin in different stages, some programmers use a method of “top-down programming” that allows the developers to work on large projects and then in the end piece the different segments together. Other developers use a method of “bottom-up” programming in which they start with the basics and add features to the software as they move along in the process. For proprietary companies like Microsoft their code is written so only their developers can add code to the software. Companies like Microsoft are required to get their products to market in the best time frame possible; therefore, they split the developers into many small groups which work on their own assigned piece of the software. After these groups finish programming their individual pieces all of the code is thrown together willy-nilly in hopes that it will work correctly. For companies that program open source software a developer will be careful with what they might implement in their software. The open source software philosophy allows the users to make suggestions on features and perhaps also help with the development overtime. While the development scheme for open source software is obviously the most logical, there is a common idea among the opposition to the Free Open Source Software (FOSS) movement that companies will not be able to actually make profit.

The fact of the matter is plain and very simple, if proprietary companies continue to deny the need for open source software, they will lose more money than if they did accept the fact and act upon it. Microsoft is spending millions to market their new overpriced operating system, “Vista.” The same company is also spending millions on training the huge tech support staffs and huge development staffs that are required for such a poorly designed operating system to stay active in the market. One of the many unique factors involved with the Linux operating system, the fastest growing open source operating system, is that the companies which have largely invested in Linux don't have to spend near as much on nifty marketing to make money. When was the last time you saw an ad on television for Red Hat Enterprise Edition 5? It might surprise you that Red Hat, the largest distributor of Open Source software for the enterprise world, had a thirty-seven percent increase in revenue in 2006 as opposed to Microsoft's fifteen percent. Microsoft may still have the most money; however, their overall growth is declining at the same time companies focusing on Unix-based systems are growing. Microsoft has a great chance to still make huge profits with open source software if they followed the lead of Red Hat and offered outstanding business solutions in the realm of open source software. Microsoft, unlike Red Hat, hasn't figured out that the money isn't in the code itself, but rather in how that code works for the users. Switching to open source software is a fantastic opportunity for companies in the software industry to continue with their success.

With the fantastic design of Unix and other open source operating system, It isn't surprising that even one of the most proprietary hardware companies, Apple, decided to base their latest operating system on BSD Unix and is providing the actual core of the operating system under the GNU General Public License, the de-facto open source software license. In 1996 Apple computers were only found in school districts and on artist's desks, during this time stability was a major issue for Apple. By the year 2000 Apple had released “OS X”, the very first Unix-based system to come out of the Apple campus in Cupertino, CA. Not only did this bring the stability of the Apple computers to an all time high to even surpass that of the Windows world, it also brought the Apple machine back to life. Since the switch, Apple has continued to gain market share over each quarter. It was the philosophy of the Open Source Movement that brought this massive come back for Apple.

Another common misconception is on the stability of Unix-based systems. Microsoft recently posted an on-line page to counter the FOSS movement in the enterprise world. The page claims that the services that Microsoft offer and the stability of the operating system surpasses that of Unix-based systems; what a joke! UNIX was designed in a time when hardware and software were packaged together. UNIX was developed to kill this idea and due to the pressure of the early UNIX developers, Unix-based systems are the most stable machines in existence. While a Microsoft Server administrator may have to reboot the server once a week, a UNIX system can go years without even shutting down. The only time a UNIX system must reboot is when the Kernel is upgraded. Aside from that, the UNIX box keeps on ticking without any sign of trouble. Stability is clearly not an issue with open source as it is with proprietary software.

Aside from the benefits that open source software brings to large corporations, it also brings hope for small businesses, schools, and non-profit organizations. Because open source software is free to distribute, modify, and re-distribute it becomes an excellent choice for those without a massive budget to spend on technology. A small business can seek the lowest bidder when they decide to start using a specialized operating system. The same small business would have to end up paying Microsoft thousands for a specialized version of Windows. For schools and non-profits, Linux becomes the best solution to their technology needs. MIT even founded the OLPC (One Laptop per Child) with $100 crank-up laptop computers running the Linux operating system.

In the Haight-Ashbury district people wanted to be free to live in peace and harmony, just as the software developers like Richard Stallman wanted to be free modify software to better the human race. Software has come a long way and the software that has advanced the most to better serve society are open source applications that have been developed by millions across the world who see the same dream today that Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie saw in 1969.

Mileage Standard Lacking

2007-05-08T21:47:00.000-05:00

According to MarketWatch.com's William Watts, the Senate approved to go ahead with plans to boost the mileage stadard to 35 Miles Per Gallon by 2019. What a joke! This simply isn't good enough, when you consider that we have had the technology for much more fuel efficient vehicles for quite awhile. I believe that there should be a massive force by congress to push laws that require all U.S. automakers to offer alternative power vehicles atleast by 2019. In 2004 the United States released 7.12 million metric tons of Carbon Dioxide into our atmosphere; these figures are up two percent from 2003. The U.S. is a key player in the murder of the ozone layer. What we need is cleaner energy, not just better gas mileage. Yes, this is a step towards resolution for a serious issue, but congress is giving the automakers too much slack and too much time. I know that when I get done with school and start looking to purchase a vehicle, I am going to be looking towards whatever is most green at the time. So far it appears that for style, comfort, and green, the Prius by Toyota wins.

It just so happens that even the Prius gets MUCH better gas mileage than 35mpg. If Toyota has the technology on the market today, congress knows that other automakers are capable of doing the same thing (hell, GM had the EV1 back in the early 90's). The fact of the matter is that congress needs to step up and push for real changes. They can't keep doing a bunch of little things and still please the majority off Americans. Make a few BIG changes and I know I will start to become happy. One of these changes is the standards that are given to the auto industry. They must be tougher and they must push for alternative and cleaner power.

Gun Control & Psychology

2007-04-18T21:13:00.000-05:00

The shootings at Virginia Tech has left a great number of families, friends, and colleagues of the victims in dispair. Like much of the world I myself mourn the loss. Many American's get upset when politicians and the media seize these moments of despair and turn them in to moments of blame and chances to push their agendas. I on the otherhand I do indeed see terrors like this as a chance to open our eyes to reality.

The first reality is the need for tougher gun control in the United States. Those who know me are very aware that I have been an advocate for some serious gun control for several years. The conservatives that I know are very much against my stand on gun control. Many that I know will point out the second admendment. The problem within itself is that times are changing. It is no longer needed that every American carry a gun around, and certainly not a Glock 9MM Semi-Automatic handgun (one of the guns that I read the shooter on Monday used to kill students and then himself). One classmate of mine told me that he thought if more of the students were carrying guns the student would not have been as likely to begin shooting fellow students. I doubt that would have stopped him from shooting, now perhaps he would have been shot before so many students died, but at the same time if every student carried a handgun, how many would die due to gun related incidents? We are a nation of mass gun sales and mass deaths relating to gun violence and gun accidents. Monday's shooting should be a wake up call for those who advocate the idea that everyone still have the right to carry guns. We certainly don't need anymore insane people going around loaded.

Before I begin the brief section on the mental state of the shooter, let me point out that I really have no true experience with such things. I did not know the guy and so everything is my thoughts alone. From what I gather the shooter had a history of clinical depression and was taking pills. There are millions of Americans who suffer from mental diseases and many of those could lead the very same thing that happened. I feel angry with the shooter, but at the same time I have to wonder what was going through his mind. Surely he knew that what he was doing was wrong (I use wrong, not to lesson the murder, but rather in the sense of right and wrong on a very basic level). The problem that gather is that when someone suffers from clinical depression they do not see a point to care about what is right or wrong. So while there is anger with the shooter himself, this also should open our eyes on better ways to treat clinical depression. I hope that as a society we work towards a greater understanding of those who are indeed labeled insane. Being a strong believer against capital punishment, part of that comes from the very fact that I believe if someone kills someone, they have to be insanse.

HPV Vaccination Leads To Some Unhappy Parents

2007-04-16T15:52:00.000-05:00

Today's Topic Starter

Playfuls.com had a good article on the HPV Vaccinations that Rick Perry would like young girls across Texas to be required to take. There are concerns that Merck & Co has lobbied the government into allowing their vaccine to be approved by the FDA and to lobby for this vaccine to be required so the government will in-turn spend the money for the vaccine. There is concern that this violates the right of the parents to make choices, and concern that this will be an okay for girls to have premarital sex. According to the Playfuls.com article there is a case in Britian where a mother agrees with the vaccination and the father believes that"the child will no longer have a reason for sexual abstinence".

There is little doubt that Merck & Co has lobbied the government, they are just one of may pharmaceutical companies that want to give their executives a bigger bonus each year. I also agree that the choice should be that of the child and the parents. This is a family matter, not a matter of the government in terms of what laws should be passed. Should the government offer to pay for this for those who desire? I believe so. The opposition will argue that they should not have their tax money going to support premarital sex. I don't see this as supporting premartial, I see this as a way to create additional protections against cancer that could result if the girls decide to have premartial sex.

I am not sure if I have said before on the blog, but those who know me know where I stand on premartial sex. I am not against it by any means but I believe one should be safe and logical. The problem is that most teenage boys and girls are not logical about sex and they feel they are invincible. Premartial sex will go on regardless of whether or not those involved have taken steps to prevent certain troubles. At the same time, this vaccine could also be used to lesson the chances of married women to get cervical cancer. Get vaccinated at 13 and not get cervical cancer at 31, I see no problem with this idea.

New Format - Obesity Gene Discovered

2007-04-15T22:46:00.000-05:00

Today marks a new format for "The Sexy Maestro" in which I will focus each blog posting over a news article. I don't know if this will by any means attract attention but atleast it will allow me to analyze my own thoughts on certain topics.

For the sake of getting into the mood, let me take you to a class room full of computer geeks and an odd but interesting instructor. The discussion somehow gets on American obesity and I am split with the others in my choice to say that genetics play a factor in obesity and that it is something very difficult to control. The others seem to be under the impression that all obesity is caused by excessive eating. I will also be the first to admit that I am (according to health charts) an obese guy, and by looking at me, many I feel would agree with me when I say that I believe I am a large unattractive guy. Non-the-less I insist on not conforming to current social standards on weight and while even my dear friend Sarah has tried to convince me to change my habits due to the health risks involved, I have yet to comply. I don't blame anything but myself, but what are humans if not products of science?

Recently it has been announced that a gene, called FTO, is the answer to that age old question. Why do the skinny kids get to eat all day while the fat guy eats a modest meal every day and is still fat? Very little is known of this newly discovered gene, and of course the scientists can not deny the fact that obesity is obviously linked to overeating, lack of excerise, and eating the wrong foods.

I know most Americans (probably the large majority, but I lack the statistics) and people all over the world eat as un-healthy as I do on a daily basis. Fast food is readily available and so are high-calorie soda water products. I am a computer nerd, what is easier for me than grabbing a bowl of sodium-loaded Ramen and a cup of coffee loaded with sugar and creamer? The problems are very obvious, I will admit them, and I will admit I have done nothing to change my habits. Some have, but still millions (billions?) worldwide have not.

So I was right the other day in the class, genetics play a role. However, Yantis (the genius with ADHD) was also right, if I stop feeding my face, I will not be so fat.

"Entering New Worlds"

2007-04-04T00:39:00.000-05:00

While many college age students were getting over their hangovers after spring break, I was beginning to wish I could get wasted. Okay, so alcohol wouldn't have solved my issues, but there are times in our life when we just feel like giving up wouldn't be such a bad idea. Or at least that is how things make one feel.

On the Friday that ended my spring break I found out that my family would have to move for financial reasons. So we found a place on the college campus in family housing but it would take nearly two weeks for all of the paper-work and BS in order to get the place. The past two weeks have been extremely hectic for everyone. Millions of people go through this on a fairly regular basis, but for me this was a first time experience, and it isn't over yet.

Though while I could sit here the entire time bitching about my life, I have to say that at the same time I again take a look at the life of a dear friend of mine and I have no room to have any self-pity. I have things pretty damn good compared to what she goes through day in and day out.

Apart from my life and my sympathy for my friend's life, all is actually going fairly well. I purchased a laptop computer and I have money put away for my summer semester books. This semester is ending soon and I suppose my GPA will drop some, hopefully it stays at least 3.0. There is plenty of shit to put up having to move and having to share a room with my brother isn't fun at all, but for the very fact that that I will hopefully be saving huge amounts of money in fuel expenses, I will be able to continue school over the next three semesters and as long as I have a working vehicle and the willpower all will go well for me.

I doubt anyone cares for these blogs, who cares what I am up to. I guess at the same time a blog gives me the chance to reason with myself. I just hope this next year works out for me. I also am really leaning towards finding a job in the Maryland area so I could be closer someone who I feel understands me better than anyone I know. Life is an interesting curse.

Tuna & Fresca

2007-02-19T21:17:00.000-06:00

Good evening, so here I am on this warm Monday evening eating some nice cold Tuna on Wheat and drinking a nice cold Fresca, thinking about the universe that surrounds me. Thinking about the one person who has made me realize my flaws and the fact that I have the same flaws I did when they were pointed out. But I am not going to turn this in to a Steve bashing party but rather I shall use this time to ponder on the future. Here I am in my second semester at TSTC-Waco, I have goals that I wish to complete, and yet I am not sure of the outcome. To point out one of my flaws, I am not the guy who takes all that many risks. I like things to go as planned and when they don't it begins to bother me. With the uncertainty that surrounds my future career I tend to get quite bothered. I am majoring in Unix (I originally wanted to do as my father wanted and study networking security, but after looking at the course outline I figured I wouldn't be too amused with that. Our general Computer Networking degree is so flooded with Microsoft and Novell that I felt I would be bored to tears, after much self deliberation I decided Unix would be the most interesting and something I would enjoy the most) and I am not sure how many Unix system admin jobs there are out there that I will be able to actually do when I complete my studies. I can't afford to take cert tests and even if I did I am uncertain if I will have obtained enough knowledge in order to pass the cert tests (who wants to pay for a test they are not sure they will pass or not?). I have too much realistic experience in failing tests that are paid for (ie. General class ham exam... oh boy was that depressing the first time around).

I have no doubts that I will be able to pass my classes in order to get my degree, but I am a bit worried at what my GPA will amount to. After the first semester I had a 3.68 GPA, but of course the first semester is really hard not to do well. This semester with classes like TCP/IP and my Composition I, I feel perhaps my GPA will drop. Comp 1 isn't a hard class but I can't seem to get into reading out of the Text Book and then taking quizzes. I am a guy who learns by doing, and trying to read how to write better isn't going to help me as much as doing it. As for TCP/IP I have been rather lazy and have let my grade slip, now I am working hard to make a B before the Mid-terms (hopefully by the finals I can MAYBE be up to an A in order to be exempt). Neither of the classes are very hard, but laziness and lack of motivation will be my ultimate failure.

Though on the other hand I have often wondered if I used laziness too often as an excuse for my lack of IQ. I have seen peers of mine who have much higher IQs not have to study and still make all A's (or so they don't seem to study). Dad pointed out that perhaps they are good in computers but are not good in things like Amateur Radio as I am (but perhaps he was just trying to build my ego to help me succeed).

I will be curious to see how the rest of this semester and the next three go. I am looking forward to some of the more entertaining courses where there will be more motivation to work hard and study. When I get to the Unix programming courses, it will be a true test of whether of not I am up for the future career. I suppose if this doesn't work out Wal-Mart will have a spot for me on their team.

6 Month review

2007-02-12T22:26:00.000-06:00

It has been a bit over 6 months since I have last written to tell about the universe that surrounds me. It seems a lot longer than that as I look back at the last six months. I have changed a lot, but still I have remained the same in one major fact; I am a born bitcher. Perhaps I should work on this simple thing that makes people think I am utterly depressing. Though, I really must admit that perhaps someone should bitch about the universe.

So what has changed in the last six months? I actually ended up getting honors after the first semester (though I am not sure how long that will keep up...). I am still working at Wal-Mart. Somehow I can't seem to get used to working at a place where there are a lot of people who have made a career out of being a Wal-Mart associate because they can't do much else (not speaking for all Wal-Mart people, I am speaking for a select few who I think are very crazy and not very smart). I also hate working for a place where management believes they are Disciples of Lee Scott. But I suppose I will hold out until they decide to fire me and I am forced to find another job.

I have lost touch with a lot of people over the last six months, and my radio hobby has become non-existent. That is kind of sad, it was one of the few things I could do to get away. I suppose that I will be getting back into the hobby here soon. I suppose once I get a logger machine going I will be more compelled to get on and make some contacts. I have though gotten more into the computer hobby. I recently purchased a used iMac and after I get my laptop I am going to turn this machine into a Unix box with the PPC processor. Perhaps a good chance to practice my Unix skills.

I believe the last my readers heard I was majoring in Networking Security Technology... I am nonow doing the Unix specialization under the Computer Networking Systems Administration program. I don't know a huge amount about Unix yet, but hope to pick a lot of things up. I suppose that it would be more useful than Novell Netware and more fun than Windows Server.

so the life of Steve is still boring and unattractive.

Working Hard For My Money...

2006-07-18T12:52:00.000-05:00

Hello to the world. I haven't updated my blog in awhile with anything very personal, just a few political rants and of course the ham radio news and contest logs. However, today is my day off and I really don't have anything exciting to do, so I thought I would come and update the world on my life. Basically a couple of weeks ago I started working at the local Wal-Mart in the Tire & Lube Express. My job is to help customers, try to sell air filters, wipers, and fuel injection cleaning. I am also responsible for courtesy on vehicles when I am not with customers. If there isn't courtesy or customers I stock our shelves in the shop or help clean the shop or help with inventory on the tires or whatever they tell me to do. So far it is okay work, I mean I am on my feet all day and sometimes it can get kind of hectic when the customers get bitchy to me when I tell them what the wait is like (I understand the saying, "The Customer Is Always Right".. however, I am becoming to believe less and less in that). But really it isn't a bad job, the heat gets annoying but oh well, I need the money.

The only thing that sucks is that the money I am earning isn't going to go to get me any new "toys", it will go for a vehicle, and right now it is going for gas and a little spending money for me to have to get a snack or a soda while at work on breaks or lunch. When classes start in August I hope to be able to keep the job, but of course I will be getting less hours and then the majority of money will go to gas and insurance on whatever vehicle I purchase. With very little money going into my pocket. The bummer about that is, when people work they like to reward themselves, and I don't see that happening. But again, oh well. I need the money for what I can use it for and then after I get done with college and move on and start making the big bucks things will get better.

Other than that, I guess work is mostly consuming my life. I haven't been active on the radio since I started working. I have just been kind of hanging around watching movies and TV and catching up with the world on the net. There is always something interesting to read about online, and generally I can find something to get my blood pressure up to rant about. In fact I thought about ranting about some of the issues of the world here in this blog entry but I see that no one really cares. It appears that all people care about is if they are on this earth and if they are in good health. Some people care about others, but like many of us who care (present company included) we care and yet we stay selfish. Oh well, I won't get off to ranting about that.

In the meantime, I will stay busy with work and hope for happier days...

Best Wishes,

Steve

I didn't double my score from last year like I wanted to, but I did score 2800 more points. I didn't manage to get any of the RAC stations this year, I tried for VO1RAC, but failed to log him. That would have been another mult plus the 20 points, but he wasn't hearing me and after nearly an hour of trying I had to leave the radio. Like always though I enjoyed the chance to heat my radio and give myself a hoarse voice calling CQ Contest.

I look forward to next year when I would really like to see my score grow by double or triple this years score.

Congratulations, Mr. Anness. You are now registered with Selective Service.

2006-06-19T14:33:00.000-05:00

...and I couldn't be less happy!

This was certainly blog worthy, because as a conscientious objector I find the concept of selective services to be asinine. The idea that this nation can get itself involved in "wars of terror" and then perhaps decide that when the recruiting numbers are too low (going to high schools and enticing America's youth with ideas of sugar plums, allowing immigrants citizenship if they serve in the U.S. military, running huge ad campaigns, recruiting offices on every corner isn't working) and then at any time all of a sudden start drafting the young guys, regardless of personal ideology or objection to such horror.

Congratulations? Congratulations? Does Uncle Sam think I am excited about such prospects? I don't think that getting my arms or legs (or both) blown off, or perhaps getting shot to death, or becoming a paraplegic or quadriplegic is very exciting. I don't think going into foreign countries and forcing our ideology is a very good idea. I don't believe that the little boys and girls who watch daddy die or daddy be taken to a prison camp is very exciting to them either. I do not dispute perhaps some of the people we are holding have links to terrorism, however the U.N. has been urging the U.S. to put these people on trial, the U.S. refuses. How can we hold people with no formal charges? Oh wait, they can do that in America, too. Yes, with that nifty little thing called the Patriot Act.

But putting my personal beliefs and opinions aside, what about those in our country who object war for religious beliefs. While I am not a religious person, I respect the beliefs of others. Don't the evangelical Christians bitch when the government doesn't involve religion enough? What about those who are anti-War for religious reasons, their men are still expected to apply for selective services and fight if the draft comes back. Is this right?

Of course I don't believe the selective services would ever work in the governments favor, there are too many American's who oppose the war in Iraq and many others who oppose war in general. There are too many American's who find the current state of the United States government to be a travesty, a joke, a complete parody to what this nation stands for.

Now given Selective Services hasn't been around for a VERY long time, and that there hasn't been an active draft in years, the concept has been around for a very long time. However, we now have to worry about it because of the position Bush has put America in. If it happens, that will be a sad day for America, if it doesn't then I don't have much to worry about other than the entire concept of selective services.

OWO QSO numbers, after crash..

2006-05-03T17:19:00.000-05:00

As many of you know I suffered from a hard drive crash, well after a couple of weeks I recovered everything and got back on the air today. Here is my QSO data after the crash. Using YFK log, I plan on updating this information more often, aswell as backing up my logs more often.

My Soundtrack

I found this on Emily's Xanga and thought I would do it. As you can see I gave it a Beatles theme, because if there was a Soundtrack of my life, I would do it with all Beatles music. Really each of their songs can describe a point in everyone's life.

UIL Results

2006-03-23T18:59:00.000-06:00

As I don't feel like writing all of this again, and this was a very good story, here is an email I sent a friend of mine.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hey!

Well I just got back from UIL today, and thought I would share with you some of my results. I was the bystander for our first debate round, meaning we had an odd number of debaters and I was given an automatic win. This was bad on one hand, because I didn't get the chance to practice my case in a real debate. I won my second debate as the negative with a boy From Crawford; however, I lost my third debate with a girl from McGregor. This girl has to have been McGregor's best debater, and she really had some good points. I had trouble fighting her points, but managed. When it came down to the judge, I was told it was because she told personal stories (I had previously used a story in my negative.. but I had none for the affirmative). After debating I went and did my Persuasive Speaking, I felt confident with it, but I was dissapointed a bit. However, I made it to finals in both debate and Persausive speaking. So I went to computer science, worried that I wouldn't get back for my debate round with that girl (competing for 3rd or 4th place.. as I had to forfeit for computer science.. I really didn't want to, but I had told Mr. Burnes I would because he felt he needed me.. turns out he didn't) my mind was on debate and speaking, and the test turned out to be very much different then the stuff we have been looking over since computer science started. I gave it a shot, hoping to wing it. Turns out I didn't, and I am very dissapointed to report that I didn't place in computer science, in fact I had the worst score there. This is a far cry from 5th place last year, and makes me very sad.

I began to get even more down when I went back and debated that girl again. At first things started out good, but I believe she had better evidence than me. I might also add that her case was one from a booklet we were given, I made my own case, hoping it would help me. So I debated her, now Cory Clendening had just beat her, so I was pretty sure I could. However, when it came down to the end, the judges didn't like the fact that I had two criterias and subpoints. The judge also didn't like that I spent more time at the end of my Rebuttel trying to win the vote from the judge rather than knocking her case (which I thought I was doing both).

So here I am, about to go speak, and I am very much down. I thought there was no chance I could compete at regionals in anything. I can't imagine what Mr. Burnes, or even Mr. Booth (the baylor Java guy) will think or say. So I am very much down, as you can imagine. But I pick my topic and I work on my speech, and I go tell it. I get into the room and things are going great. I get out and I am obviously very worried about my placing.

Now we are on the van going home with Mr. Kilgore, and Mrs. Mauney calls, I am listening to my ipod when Ryan Beseda taps me on the shoulder and says something about 1st place. So I pause my music player and find out that I did get first place in Persuasive Speaking. So I am much happier now. Being my first time at UIL to do speaking and debate. I am still down about computer science, I should have done better. I don't know what I missed, and really I suppose one big problem is the fact that the things we worked on with Mr. Booth would have helped on a programming contest, they didn't help on the written test very much. The ideas are the same, but putting the ideas to use on a computer is much easier then reading syntax and making what it is on paper. Last year I feel that I got lucky, because I honestly didn't know very much of what I was doing. One would imagine computer science being my forte, however, programming is not my forte, programming takes the knowledge of concepts and of understanding syntax. Apart from not understanding it all, I also had my mind filled with other things, and in order to do well in programming, one must have a clear mind. I don't know if it would have made much difference in debate if I would have debated instead of computer science. So all in all, my forte is speaking. We will see at the regional contest how well of a speaker I am compared to all the other schools in our region. Lets hope I really just that good.

Steve

Its UIL Time Again, and I am nervous as Hell!

2006-03-17T22:46:00.000-06:00

Well, next Thursday is our district University Interscholastic League spring meet. The last two years I went and competed on the computer science Team, and I have never done very well. Last year I got 5th place, but was clueless. This year I was lucky to have Mr. Bill Booth from Baylor University come and teach me Java. However, I am still lost on most of it, I hope I can atleast pull 3rd Place and go on to regionals. To add to me being nervous and wanting to make a good impression for Mr. Booth, I was asked by Mrs. Mauney-Rooks (who I might add, I have often thought she disliked me. Apparently she does feel that I am good in some areas, and that I need to have limits. I do tend to get off on some subjects, and I often annoy people.) to do both LD Debate and Persuasive Speaking. Now, generally I am not a nervous guy when it comes to speaking. Those who know me, know that I am one to say anything to anybody. However, this is one of those times when it does matter what the judge thinks, and I must show that I can do what Mrs. Mauney thinks I can, also I want to do as well my father did in UIL (he won first place in Persuasive Speaking, he also received Best Actor in the One-Act-Play.. I was not in the One-Act-Play, I tried out my 9th grade year only to not get a part, didn't try my 10th grade year, I tried last year and received a part but my grade in spanish kept me from keeping that part, this year I felt that I had other obligations that would take away from OAP, and I decided to just give up the thought of acting...). I guess it doesn't matter much to him if I do well or not, but it matters to me. I have always wanted to be like my dad, or should I say as good as he was at the various things. My mother and I don't really get along, and my stepmom and I are not very close (but I might add that I love her dearly and she is a lot more of a mother to me than my real mom, and perhaps we have gotten closer over the past year than previously). I am not really "close" with my dad much anymore, but I still wish I could be as good as he is. My dad seems to do well in everything he tries. He is very well with hands on things, aswell as with computers, and acting/speaking and with being funny and very smart (his IQ is so high, he could join MENSA if he so desired).

I on the otherhand, I don't believe my IQ is very high (I fear I am below average, and even Average is not good enough). I am not good with tools or doing hands on stuff. My computer skills are very limited in nature and my speaking skills are just average. I fear that I will greatly screw up next week and I am very nervous. But maybe I will do well, and maybe I will do just fine. We will see soon enough.

YFKLog: The Linux Logger For You

2006-03-17T14:48:00.000-06:00

Over the last few months I have been using YFKLog written by Fabian Kurz, DJ1YFK. The program is the best logging software I have ever used, and the best part, it runs on Linux. In fact it will also run on Unix and FreeBSD. This open source application is just in its starting phases, but already it has made great strives in linux amateur radio logging. It uses a mySQL server backbone, and runs in the terminal. Now just imagine this, setting up a logging server at your home running YFKlog and taking your laptop with you all over the world using SSH to log into that server and have access to your entire log.

Imagine searching your log book from anywhere in the world.

YFKLog comes with the ability to keep track of your QSL cards, and print your labels out for your cards.

YFKlog has the ability to import ADIF files, export your log into ADIF format, and upload your log easily to your personal website.

Get YFKlog today by visiting: http://fkurz.net/ham/yfklog.html

You won't regret it!

Suitsat, weak but alive

2006-02-06T16:27:00.000-06:00

I found an interesting story last night while surfing the QRZ.com website, I came in a bit late about what SuitSat really was, literally a spacesuit floating in space. The post on QRZ.com reported that Suitsat was very weak but was still alive. This is a very neat experiment and such an idea could result in very in-expensive satellites that we could use for amateur radio purposes.

You know, I would really like to get involved with AMSAT, I have never done any of the satellite work due to lack of equipment, but one of these days I would certainly like to get involved. I think this SuitSat is a very neat idea and I am glad it appears to have worked out, and I suspect next time they try it it will work out a lot better than this time, maybe it will last a lot longer than it did.

Myspace.com: A serious addiction

2006-02-06T14:30:00.000-06:00

Over the last few months Myspace.com as been under a lot of heat. The website has turned into what may be the largest online community. Tens of Thousands access the website each day, I would guess about a billion or so page refreshes each and every day. With growth like this, it is no wonder that the website would be under a lot of fire from teachers who feel that sites like Myspace.com and other similar sites take away from the learning experience in the classroom. In some ways I agree with the teachers, in other way blocking any website is censorship, and that I am against.

You may not be surprised to hear that the biggest arguments come from parents who feel that Myspace.com is a dangerous place for children. Not only when it comes to teenagers, like myself, spending way too much time online chatting it up on Myspace, posting crazy bulletins all day, but also with the very real threat of online perverts who are out to find teenagers who are willing to share their life story on the internet.

Currently Myspace.com is being blamed for the result of several sexual assualts and on a kidnapping where apparently the men met the teenage girls VIA myspace.com. This brings up my thoughts on the whole ordeal. As an advocate for both internet safety and for free speech and being against censorship, I have come to a very logical conclusion on such websites. It is the job of the user to understand the hazards of posting images and other information on such websites that receive so many hits from so many different people. The internet is a great place with many many flaws. One big flaw is that in the process of sharing your ideas and thoughts aswell as meeting new friends, most people who you would seem to trust, the internet brings these people right to your front door and in some cases these people are not who you thought they were.

I am not personally scared of anyone showing up at my front door, and frankly I am smart enough not to let some man or woman into my house that I do not know. I am also smart enough not to meet in a private place with just anyone. Sadly, there are many teenagers out there who are unlike me and they are willing just to let anyone into their life and when they let the wrong person in troubles come about.

I do not blame Myspace.com for anything other then providing a very addictive website. Nothing beats the chance to get online and have a damn good time posting lame bulletins and chatting with your friends and making new friends. Myspace really does offer a lot of fun clean enjoyment; the wrong just gets targeted.

Also, most of you might be aware that Myspace is a real money maker, I guess not too long ago News Corp. (owned by Rupert Murdoch) purchased myspace.com for a staggering $582 Million. This kind of money for a website that draws so much in ad revenue is just amazing. This makes me want to start a similar website. These kind of pages are real money makers in a world where online communites are hit for not only teenagers but for everyone 6-96.

Just a word of advice, watch what you post online if you are scared someone might want to come and visit you!

President Bush: Stealing our freedoms, taking away healthcare, working hard to destroy this nation.

2006-02-06T13:59:00.000-06:00

Most of you will look at the heading and not bother to read this, just another Bush rant you might think. However, these are very serious issues that I feel the need to get across to anyone willing to take a moment and read this. As the news unfolded that Bush was breaking the laws and spying on the American people, tapping our phone lines and taking away our civil liberties, reports were being released showing how unsafe this nation is.

Will increasing defense funding and putting in place cutbacks with our national healthcare going to fix anything? I don't have faith in our government security program, I believe that our government security program will continue to take away civil liberties, like our right to have a phone conversation without the government listening in on it, like our right to protest outside of the presidents ranch without being arrested. These rights apparently don't matter to the president, all the president seems concerned about is terrorism, when there are other ways to go about fighting terrorism. Occupying countries in the Middle East and holding thousands of Middle East citizens "hostage" in prison camps isn't going to solve a damn thing. There are non-violent ways to make peace with foreign countries and that is the direction we should be leading.

I have often wondered why we don't negotiate with terrorists. I have been told that is because if we gave the terrorists what they wanted they would just keep going back. However, no money amount could be put on someone, and also the fact that terrorists currently have us in the palm of their hands as it is. They could attack at any moment and we would not be prepared to stop it or to handle the effects. Am I scared? Very! the United States government needs to seriously work on foreign policy, instead of spending money to spy on the American people.

Call me a socialist, but I believe that it is the governments job to take care of the American people, and when those that are disabled or have other reasons to bring hardships and troubles, the government should offer assistance. Cutting healthcare is a step down. Polls show that most Americans would like a better government healthcare program, and I believe this is what we need to advance into the future.

In closing, I do want to applaud the president for raising the budget for alternative fuels. I doubt that president Bush did this because he really wanted to, but rather this is something that the American people are demanding. I am very pleased to see this and I just hope that this money does indeed go into this research. I also believe that there are ways now that we could run our vehicals without being dependent on fossil fuels, and worst of all being dependent on a nation that we are currently at war with (a pointless, insane, evil war, but war at that).

Looking for great oldies? Try Oldies 95. They broadcast live from their website at www.oldies95online.com, however they sadly have a built in player, I am not fond of built in players. So here is the URL for those who are also not fond of the built in player.

mmsh://a673.I2010946979.C20109.g.lm.akamaistream.net/D/673/20109/v0001/reflector:46979

Great music, the best oldies I have found on the web!

Our world has issues, but what are they?

2005-11-25T23:55:00.000-06:00

This evening my family was coming home from a pot luck dinner and on the truck stereo was an oldies song which mentioned "strolling through the park". My father pointed out that the song really outdated itself with that verse. What my father was pointing out is that is isn't safe in the twenty-first century to go "strolling through the park" unless of course you are heavily armed. Why must we have to live like this? Why must we all be "heavily armed"? Are guns going to fix any problems? If I was "strolling through the park" and some jerk came to me demanding my wallet and pointing his big manly gun at me, what could or even what would it do for me to whip out my big manly gun? Chances are he would shoot me either way, and if I managed to shoot him then he would be injured or dead. Either way we didn't solve anything, but rather we opened up a new can of worms. Say I pulled my gun out and shot him and he didn't die but he was severely injured. I could go to jail for shooting the guy, and he might sue me and then I would have to pay this guy 10 times the amount of money that was in my wallet. So what is the smart resolution? Give the guy my wallet and beg for my life? Well he might still shoot me, but being cooperative is always a plus for these people.

But here is a good question, let us assume that the oldies song was made in 1965, 40 years ago, are we saying that these "armed park bandits" did not exist in 1965? Well, there were murders in 1965... umm. Lets look at some statistics. I chose 1965 which was a year with statistically 5.1 murders per 100,000 people in 1965 according to The San Diego Union-Tribune. The number for 2004 was 5.5 murders per 100,000. So it is about the same, however that is a drop from previous years. Lets assume for the purpose of this blog entry that all those worse years didn't happen. I understand that doing that isn't fair and only throws things off. However, my point is that there were murders in 1965 just like there are murders in 2005. The number is likely to increase as population increases. According the U.S census there were 3,039,451,023 people in the United States in 1960, in the year 2000 there were 6,082,966,429 billion. This increase supports the fact that as the population increases our murder rates will increase.

I have often dreamt of a utopian society, one where we could live in peace and harmony and people didn't have to die for what they believed in. A world where people were not killed for money or over quarrels involving love and hate. However, my utopian dream is sincerely impratical. I know this, and that is why it is only a dream. However, if one was to sit down and figure up all of the world problems, would we be able to fix them? If President Bush would have sat down with foreign leaders and screwed on his head correctly, could he have solved our problems without the use of force? If men were not trained to kill, and if it wasn't our nature to be violent, would we have war? One great person once said, and forgive me for not knowing who said this quote but it was something along the lines as 'as long as there is man there will be war'. Man being mankind. Animals fight, humans fight, the world is just one big pit of violence and anger towards those who are different. I am angry at those who disagree and feel that war is great, that is anger that should not be. Those in Eastern religions gain insight on the world by getting in touch with nature. They learn martial arts and they sometimes do fight. In America we learn how to shoot a gun and yell at our spouse.

In America, wasn't that a song from some musical? In America we have to worry about strolling through the park, we have to worry if our boss, neighbor, preacher, doctor, or teacher are perverts. In America we have to lock our doors and in America we have to be afraid, very afraid. Why should we be afraid? It is because in America we have seen what is out there, we have seen so much and we know that there is so very much to worry about. There is so very much that could happen. We are becoming too smart for our own good. The Greeks felt that the god's and goddesses' controlled everything and made things happen for a reason. Now that we know that isn't how things happen, we seek to understand why things happen, and we wonder why things must be.

We wonder why our school superintendent, the nice guy with a family, the nice guy who changed our school for the better, would place a camera in the women's restroom of his office. Why would one do such a thing? This man had so much going for him, if this man wasn't happy with his love life, than why didn't he seek a divorce. Why didn't he buy an adult magazine? Why didn't he go to a strip joint? Why did he have to do something that has now changed the way many people think about him. People will never think about this man the same again, sure some will forgive him or think he was misguided. Still everyone will wonder what was going through this mans head.

Don't we all wonder the same thing when we hear a man who rapes a little girl? Why would someone be so perverted, so sick to rape a little girl? To me, to want to rape a little girl means that you are crazy, that you have no sense of right and wrong. However, these people have to know that they are wrong. They have to know that what they are doing is not acceptable. They have to know this in their head, and they have to consider the fact that what they are doing is totally wrong and not accepted in our world and should not be accepted anywhere. They have to know this, and so why don't they? Or do they? Do they know all of this, and still commit such an act?

Yes they do, and that is why in the year 2004 though the murder rate was down, according the San Diego Union-Tribune the sexual crimes were up. Are people becoming more relaxed to sex and therefore sex crimes increase? As we leave our Bibles in our closet collecting dust, do we lose our morals? I am not a religious man, and therefore I don't believe that we must rely on the word of religious text to tell us what is right or wrong. Rape is simply wrong and not right. Soliciting sex with a minor is simply wrong and not right. However, there are others that do not feel the same as I do. There are many people who blame the fact that religion is loosing touch in America on the reason why we have so much crime. I blame the fact that we have more population therefore more rates of these mentally ill people.

So, we know the world issues. Why have they not been fixed yet? Because we are too lazy. Because we tend to put the issues aside and play the "out of sight, out of mind game". Of course that game was easy to play in 1965. There might have been a ton of murders in New York City, but people didn't have the internet to read about them. People read the local or regional newspaper, news on TV wasn't national cable news. You couldn't hear about everything, and in 1965 we were so consumed with Vietnam that we didn't have time to worry about the crime rate. In 2004 we are in another war, and in fact we have been in several wars over the years on our own home front. The war against drugs, the war against violence, and the war against ourselves.

So True...

SOAPBOX: Good Contest! Worked a lot more stations than last years SS. Hoping for many more next November. I had planned to put in more operating hours, but didn't. I think what really hurts me in the contests is not having an antenna on 75 meters, when the evenings come and 20 dies, 40 is usually so full of broadcast I have to give up for the evening hours. I am hoping to add radials to my vertical, so that will help. Still I will lack 75 meters.

Thanks to all who worked me.

9A6XX Techno and FY5KE Vs. David Bowie

2005-11-14T09:12:00.000-06:00

A little bit of fun a couple of weeks ago and a serious urge to screw around with a new sound program I downloaded (Audacity) I decided to have FY5KE meet up with David Bowie. This is a horrible remix, but I thought I would share it with you anyhow.

http://kd5owo.anness.org/CQWW2004mix.ogg

After sharing my FY5KE CQWW 2004 Remix with the gang at #wwyc I was forwarded to the 9A6XX Techno, a fab example of quality remixes.

Danger In Texas: Proposition 2

2005-11-08T11:23:00.000-06:00

Proposition 2
Provides that marriage consists only of the union of one man and one woman and prohibits the state or a political subdivision of the state from creating or recognizing any legal status identical or similar to marriage.
Ballot Language: "The constitutional amendment providing that marriage in this state consists only of the union of one man and one woman and prohibiting this state or a political subdivision of this state from creating or recognizing any legal status identical or similar to marriage."
Explanation: HJR 6 would provide that marriage in Texas is solely the union of a man and woman, and that the state and its political subdivisions could not create or recognize any legal status identical to or similar to marriage, including such legal status relationships created outside of Texas

Texans are rushing to the polls today to vote on several issues, among those issues is a Proposition to redefine and exisiting ban in the State of Texas on same-sex marriage. Again I lay my head in shame at the lack of tolerance that a majority of southern people have on diversity. How does having sex with the same gender make a person any less of a person? The fact is, that is doesn't. Who you and I choose to have sex with are our choices and if I choose to have sex with a lady, that is my choice, but if you choose to have sex with a guy that is your choice.

It is said that same-sex marriage takes away from the sanctity of marriage. I personally disagree that someone who chooses to marry someone of the same gender is in anyway changing the sanctity of other marriages. I happen to live in a southern baptist town where the community looks down on people who are diverse. Now notice I used the term diverse, because just because someone is different doesn't make them "different". If someone chooses to have sex with a male, and I don't. We are the same people, we just choose to have sex with different people.

Sadly I will be unable to convince anyone who votes for Proposition 2 that it is wrong. Those who are voting for it are the ones who believe that what they think is really correct. They believe that those who choose to have sex with the same-sex is wrong because the bible says that it is wrong. Well I am sorry but we need a seperation of church and state and the bible should not make the laws in Texas or in the United States. The bible is a book that many respect, but it is NOT the law of Texas. As I thought we were stepping forward after Texas legalized sodimey (sp? why it was ever against the law one will ever know). However, we have gone downhill by banning gay marriage.

Equality for all...

Ugly World Issues: Un-tolerance

2005-11-07T14:02:00.000-06:00

Today I was sitting at lunch having an argument with a good friend of mine, well not so much a "good" friend, but a guy that I hang out with at school somtimes. Anyhow, he feels that homosexuality is not moral and that it is wrong and that homosexuals should not be able to get married. Now most of you would then ask why I choose to hang around these people. But I really don't have much choice to avoid the religous fanatics when they over run the school I attend. Now personally my thoughts vary from a large majority of the people here, for the most part everyone here is anti-homosexual and people here are very un-tolerant to people of different religions and belief systems.

My dream is for everyone to be tolerant of eachother, and perhaps this is a stupid dream. My friend Sarah reminds me that if people becme too openminded their heads will fall off and my friend Stewart often reminds me that my dream of a utopian like society will never work because of the way people are, and the way people think. People refuse to be tolerant of others, and I am even un-tolerant of people. I am un-tolerant of the people who are un-tolerant. I am un-tolerant of the religious extremists who allow their babies to die. I am un-tolerant of terrorists who commit acts of terror all across the world.

Tolerance in our world would bring much less murders and much less violence. If we didn't put such weight on the differences of people, but rather putting the weight on the qualities of people. So think about that next time to decide to wonder if we should make laws against same-sex marriage. Think about this next time you decide to be un-tolerant for no apparent reason.

We must be tolerant!

Which Mean Girl are you?
brought to you by Quizilla

You chose brown eyes.
Brown eyed people are normally very romantic. You
love to daydream, and sometimes you get
confused with your own fantasies over reality.
You are pretty outgoing, but some days, all you
want to be, is alone, reading, or thinking by
yourself. You have many talants, and you will
probably have a very important job when you're
older.

You are a Grape!
Wow..talk about a sour grape. You're a very sad,
lonely, depressed person. You always keep to
yourself, and when people wanna be your
friends, you push them away. You need to
believe in yourself, and give people a chance,
instead of hiding away in your room all the
time. If you let people get to know ya, you'll
make some friends who like you for who YOU are.

Think Different: Apple evangelism

2005-10-25T11:37:00.000-05:00

"Here is to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes, the ones who see things differently.

They are not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo.

You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. But the only thing you can't do is ignore them, because they change things, they push the human race forward.

And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."

Something I always wanted to talk about on my blog here is my love for Apple and how they have revolutionized the technological world. I often have arguments with friends of mine who do not understand Apple Computer Inc. Often Apple is accused of just being like any other company, out to make money. I know different. Apple was founded on the idea of changing the history of computers, and they did a damn good job. Sadly Bill Gates came in with affordable crap and wiped out most of the Apple market share. In order for Apple to get back in people eyes, they had to change. After years of Apple losing market share, they came out with OS X. A unix based operating system, based on Steve Job's NextStep. OS X has been a major hit, and along with the easy to use software that Apple has been releasing since. However, though Apple has always, and will always be a great company, people don't see the need to spend the money for the hardware. The fact is that the hardware makes up a lot of the computer, Apple is known for its quality hardware (atleast in the Apple circles where those who spend the money are willing to admit that the hardware is better then Dell, or stuff you buy yourself). I will forever have a bit of everything, being a computer nerd. I also currently can't afford all the Apple gear that I would LIKE to have. BUT, my heart will always be in the company. It is has been a long time dream of mine to work for Apple, and if I ever see an opening where I could get in with the company, there is no doubt that I would rush to try getting the job.

I leave you know with a very good video link. Check this one out!

Have you learned the rhythm of the code?

2005-10-09T23:40:00.000-05:00

http://dl0tud.tu-dresden.de/~dj1yfk/cw-rithm.mp3

Several blog entries ago, I wrote about CW in the 21st century. I wrote about how I was envious of the fact that I didn't know the code. So I took care of the situation, and thanks to the encouragement of some kind hams and lots of advice, I made my first CW contact this afternoon with DJ1YFK. You can listen to my bloody fist (here). Practice will make perfect. I am hoping that by Straight Key Night I am good enough at 13-20wpm on the straight key for some serious fun. In December I hope to be getting a bencher BY-1 and getting on to some some serious CW DXing. I am very glad that I decided to relearn the code, now it is a matter of improving and getting down the rhythm of the code.

Have you had your steve today?

VE3AXC Print: Fast, Friendly, Quality

2005-10-03T23:22:00.000-05:00

http://www.qslcanada.com

I was VERY VERY pleased with VE3AXC. Last month I decided that I wanted to get some custom QSL Cards, and I was told by several hams to check on VE3AXC's QSL Canada service. I emailed for a price quote, and couldn't believe how cheap my custom cards would be printed for. They were so cheap, I got 300. When my 300 quality cards came in the mail, I was very happy.

Using printers are new to me, since I have done my own printing in the past. VE3AXC answered all of my questions and was very friendly about it!

Thanks VE3AXC.. You will be hearing from me again when it is time for a new batch!

Comments:

I enjoyed the contest. I did not do as well as last year, and I expect
that it
was because of two factors, A) last year I did more operating, and B)
last year
there were more TQP stations on. I did have fun though, and certainly
it was
worth it. Was not as fun as my plans to go to NX5M and help NX5M win
in the m/m
catagory. Rita changed those plans, so I operated from the house
instead.

Thanks to those who worked me.

MME, my favorite three letters until you change your call

2005-09-14T21:31:00.000-05:00

Nope Mike, she is not getting a vanity. You know my story, this is *MY* call, and besides, there are no good vanities in Texas. The fact is, I don't want a call that anyone else has ever had. This is *MY* call, and I am the original owner. You say it is not a contest call, well it is not easy, but it is certainly a challenge. Besides, I like making life tough for me.

OWO begs again: OWO WWYC YU Fund

2005-09-14T21:10:00.000-05:00

I have been informed that the World Wide Youth Contestors (WWYC) will be having their 7th Birthday Party in YU land. Well, you know what that means! I need money, and I am too fat and lazy to get a job and work for a living, so here I am to beg. I don't know how much money I need, but all the money will help. Please send checks to my address in the call book.

OWO, popular suffix with the SCDC gang.

2005-09-10T17:17:00.000-05:00

It appears to me that those infamous letters "OWO" have become popular with the gang over at the WE4YL (South Carolina DX Club) message board. See for yourself:

Thank You Amateurs, Thank You Media.

2005-09-01T19:08:00.000-05:00

Let me begin by thanking the amateur radio operators who have assisted in the disater relief, as well as all those amateurs who were waiting around monitoring the hurricane watch net. I spent some time on 20 meters monitoring the hurricane net, I also monitored the SATERN net some, but it looks like they were pretty much covered for relays and help. As for NC help, I have school, and was unable to sit around and help. I do want to thank all those out there who were helping. It is sad that it takes something like this to bring to the world's attention the importance of ham radio. I would like to thank the media though for pointing out that we were there. Here are links to some of the news stories on ham radio and katrina. There are some mistakes in some of these, calling ham radio old-fashioned for one is a big mistake. Also our local media KWTX-TV ran a story on ham radio, but they showed a CB instead of a ham radio on the cover picture.

KD5OWO gets political on kwtx.com

2005-08-26T21:43:00.000-05:00

I applaud the effots of Cindy Sheehan and all the others that have gathered to protest the war on Iraq. The facts are clear, Bush lied to the American people about weapons of mass destruction. Bush has continued to bring up those awful attacks on 9/11, though I have yet to see any proof that Saddam Hussein was supporting terrorists. Our soldiers will continue to die for a cause unbeknownst to me. A great thank you should be given too all anti-war protestors!

KD5OWO 8-26-2005 Waco Tribune-Herald Letter

2005-08-26T21:40:00.000-05:00

Hurdles there for reason

Gov. Perry should not sign Senate Bill 5. It not only would increase our power rates and phone rates, but we also have the threat of widespread broadband over power lines or BPL (where broad-band signals are relayed through power lines.) BPL currently is not fit to provide Internet service.

Those regulatory hurdles to which SB 5 is supposed to put an end to are there for a reason – so companies cannot put into place technologies that will cause harmful interference to other services. That is exactly what BPL threatens to do.

"OWO Dayton 2006 Fund"

2005-08-12T01:33:00.000-05:00

I have always wanted to travel to Dayton Hamvention, not having the money to travel, and thought I would take up a collection for the "OWO Dayton 2006 Fund". This fund will be used to provide Travel, Lodging, Admission, and Food for Dayton Hamvention 2006. I estimate the total cost to be around $900. Please email me if you are interested in helping out. If you are a ham, my address is good in the callbook. You are welcome to send a check of any amount to the address listed in any of the callbooks. I look forward to the chance to go to Hamvention 2006.

Thanks for your time.

Morse Code (CW) in the 21st Century.

2005-07-22T00:06:00.000-05:00

Note: This is not a pro or anti-code rant. This is my thoughts on the future of the amateur radio service, and my oppinions on the recent proposal by the FCC to drop morse code testing. I suspect this will disagree with people on both sides of the fence, but it's very worthy of being thought about.

In the Notice Of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) WT Docket 05-235 the FCC has proposed to Drop Morse code requirements entirly. As we move into the 21st Century it is thought by many that CW is no longer important. A group known at NCI (No-Code International) has lobbied to abolish the Morse Code as a requirement to obtain any class of amateur radio license. The ARRL had asked that it be kept for Amateur Extra. Amateur's themselves sit on both sides of the fence, many are against dropping code, some wish they would go back to 20wpm for Extra and 13wpm for General. Then there are many others who don't want to do morse code, and feel it should be dropped. Even those who have taken the morse exams (at 5wpm, 13wpm, and even 20wpm) who feel that the requirment should be dropped. I will began by listing some of the reasons I have heard to keep morse code.

* It has been proven to be the best in emergency communications, and many feel that in order to fulfull Part 97 of the FCC rules in providing emergency communications for our service that we must have the knowledge to operate CW.

* Morse Code is a tradition, learning the code and building speed as showed commitment to the hobby of amateur radio and showed that people are willing to advance in the hobby.

* Morse Code is not outdated, and has been proven to still be failsafe, and will get through many times when Phone transmissions will not.

* Learning the morse and having that knowledge and skill sets us apart from Class D citizens band. This goes back to tradition, and the commitment that amateurs show.

Here are a few reasons why NCI feel we should get rid of morse code:

* Morse code is outdated technology and that there is now more accurate and faster digital modes

* Nothing proofs that having the knowledge of CW makes you a more commited operator

* Morse code is a barrier

The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) dropped morse as a requirement on July 5 2003. At that point it became the choice of each nation to decide if code should be required. Some countries dropped the morse, others began the process. Many others, including the united states, decided to keep morse code.

My Thoughts:

In Spring of 2004 I decided I wanted to obtain my General class amateur radio license. I knew that morse code was a requirement. I had spent some time prior to that bitching on web forums about the morse code, and how it was outdated, and I believed much of what the NCI was saying. With guidance from my friend K3ASK I went and took and passed my morse exam in June of 2004. I have not operated morse code since June of 2004, and have turned down all offers to have a sked with K3ASK. I will be 100% honest in saying that I could not copy worth a darn now. I have no plans at this point to re-learn the morse code and become a morse code operator. That is not to say that I won't. I will aslo be honest by saying I am a hypocrite. I believe we should keep morse code. I don't believe that morse code is a barrier. Those who work to obtain, will obtain morse code. I believe then it shows how determined you are to on HF, but I don't believe knowing and operating CW makes you a better operator. Or does it? I believe that CW, at this time, would out do any of the great digital modes in passing traffic. In an emergency, all amateurs would need to be able to know how to pass traffic, and they would have to do it fast. CW allows you to pass traffic very fast, and that is very important. Perhaps I am afriad to admit that I am less of an operator because I don't do code. Perhaps I envy those who are very good at morse code, and yet I am too damn lazy to get up and do somthing about it.

I don't know if I should be afriad of the morse code going away, I know it will cause an increase of amateurs on HF, and will that be a good thing? With the question pools being published, and certain VE's and websites and those trying to "recruit" amateurs talk about how easy it is. Then I look at myself, and see that I used the online practice tests and a book that published all the questions and answers. I look at myself and see that I don't have half what it takes to be a good elmer, I am still in need of one myself. At one time it took people years to get to Extra, and when they did they got a special callsign and had pride and joy. Well I opted to keep my callsign, but that is because I really do like my call, and I do have pride. I am proud to be an amateur radio operator. I love this hobby, and I know that this is a great service. I look at what amateur radio has done in the sense of emergency communications, and how amateur radio has promoted international goodwill in other countries. I look at the past and I see that amateur radio as advanced the state of the art. I wish I could have been around with a lot of these things took place. Now we live in a different world, and thought Amateur Radio still plays a vital role in communications. Will Amateur Radio still play this role if we make it any easier to get involved. Its not about how easy, its about how much you will learn and how well you will perform in the service, and how you will take your hobby and advance the state of the art.

Do other people not feel the same as me? There are those who can see reality, while I am blinded by false hope. Is this false hope? Am I right? Will amateur radio still be providing a failsafe communication network 100 years from now? Will it involved CW or high tech digital modes. Will it use the internet? Will internet become failsafe that amateur radio is no longer needed? Will people on earth all become vulgar like that you hear on 11 meters and Amateur Radio will be a huge chatroom for vulgar people. I will be on this earth for a good chunck of the next 100 years (or so I hope) and amateur radio has become a lifestyle for me. I am surprised that I don't breath amateur radio, but I do live it. I live the experience of hearing that voice on the other side. I have the experience of logging japan in an fast paced, serious, heated contest on 20 meters. Its great when that Japan station sends me a QSL card from the buro. Everytime I turn on the radio, a part of me comes alive. When I read or think about the death of amateur radio, a little piece of me days.

Your thinking "You have been around for 5 years, what do you know about amateur radio, hell you did not even take the 20wpm morse code exam. What do you know, kid?" Perhaps very little. And perhaps this post really did not have much to do with morse code. Since what do I know about morse code? How is my right to talk about keeping morse? I don't even use the mode!
Will Morse Code still be around in 100 years? Will Amateur Radio? I hope so, and I may never even though a keyer, and I may miss out, but somthing about it makes me want it here to stay.

NASA and Funding from Congress: At Risk?

2005-07-15T01:23:00.000-05:00

CNN.com reports that "The sensor that malfunctioned is one of four that monitor hydrogen levels in the external fuel tank." This shows on careful NASA is being. They are being careful because if somthing goes wrong this time, Congress may stop funding the manned space program. Here is my problem with that, congress has approved trillions of dollars to be spent on an unjust war that has killed thousands. Sending men to space helps us solve the space conundrum, and I would like to see people continue to go to space for many generations. We already have people living on the International Space Station. I think one day we will find a planet to colonize (Mars?). In order to do this NASA must have proper funding from Congress.

I hope that NASA can get the sensor working again, and get that shuttle launched. Columbia shuttle was destroyed and the crew died in a tradgic event, but I don't believe that should be the end of our space program. The families of those who died in the Columbica event are optimistic about Discovery, and the space program. I feel sorry for the families for loosing their loved ones, but I must say that their loved ones died in honor. Anyone who is willing to go into space and help continue America's space program is a hero in my mind.

Discovery Launch Called Off

2005-07-13T22:25:00.000-05:00

Two hours before lift-off, Space Shuttle Discovery's launch was put on old. Apparently there was a faulty fuel take sensor. According to NASA.gov " The sensor protects an orbiter's main engines by triggering them to shut down in the event fuel runs unexpectedly low." To me most optimistic, they may launch Saturday July 16.

Space shuttle Discovery to lauch Tomorrow!

2005-07-12T18:05:00.000-05:00

I was very excited to here that that Space shuttle Discovery will be launching tomorrow. I was dissapointed to here critics on TV talking about how unsafe this mission is. I heard one guy say that he though if somthing happened to Discovery that we would stop going into space. I don't believe that we would stop going into space, I also don't think that anything will go wrong. They have improved the ship from Columbia which took the life of all on board. Columbia was a horrible tragedy, but we must prevail and continue the United States space program. How many have died in Iraq, and yet we keep sending troops. The space program is more important then the war in Iraq, the war should not be happening, the space program MUST go on!

For the amateur operators, the ARRL announced that 6 of the 7 on board Discovery are amateur radio operators:

Commander Eileen Collins, KD5EDS
Pilot James Kelly, KC5ZSW
Mission Specialist Andy Thomas, KD5CHF/VK5MIR
MS Charles Camarda, KC5ZSY
MS Wendy Lawrence, KC5KII
MS Soichi Noguchi, KD5TVP

I don't have access to the sats here, but hopefully some people get to work them on the radio station on board the ISS operating the call NA1SS.

BPL in Houston?

2005-07-12T00:55:00.000-05:00

Damn the electric companies, damn them!

BPL in Houston? CenterPoint Energy is testing BPL in Houston, Texas. Why is this bad for Houston? Houston tends to have risk of flooding and hurricanes during the tropical storm season. Broadband Over Powerlines would make communications very difficult and it would deem impossible to pass live saving traffic. Some of the spectrum that is interupted by Broadband Over Powerlines is that used by Marine Mobile stations and the Marine Mobile distress frequencies. There are a lot of Marine Mobile stations in the Gulf. We do not need somthing like BPL in Houston, TX, just like we do not need Broadband Over Powerlines anywhere else in the world. They are now claiming that it is so much faster the cable and what we currently have, is it faster then fiber? Why can't we deploy fiber? I don't see how it could possible be more then BPL. TXU said that it would cost $300-$600 million to deploy Broadband Over Powerlines in the North Texas Service Area.. Would it cost that much for the South Texas Service area? We are looking at a possible $1200 Million just for Texas to have BPL. This money will end up coming out of the pockets of customers. Am I scared? Indeed, I am scared for my wallet, and the lives of all those living in areas were communications are impossible due to Broadband Over Powerlines.

Permits Obtained for September 24!

2005-07-11T17:33:00.000-05:00

Legal permits have been obtained for the mass anti-war demonstration on Setember 24, 2005. Though I will not be able to make it to this movement, I wanted to let everyone know that this will be going on. American's will get their chance to make use of our 1st admendment rights! Many American's are now waiting Bush & Co. to be held accountable for war crimes. Even republicans are wanting our troops to come back from Iraq! As the days go by, more and more people are beginning to see that Bush Lied and thousands have died since.

The hardcore right always throw it at the lefty's that Clinton screwed in intern, but as www.antibushhq.com points out, Bush screwed the U.S. As soon as I get the money I will be ordering some anti-bush gear. I want to show my support for America. Thats right, show my support for America. This country is not in good shape with Bush as our president. We have several moron years left, and I don't know how I am going to get through this.

Bush does not want Mandatory limits on greenhouse gases. Perhaps he would like to see the Ozone layer become wiped out at an even faster rate then it is now. Also we are on the verge of an energy crises, but Bush is spending trillions of dollars on his own little game called the "WAR on terror". Perhaps better said "War Of Terror". War is always terror, regardless of if its said to be for a good cause.

Anyways.. those trillions of dollars could be spend on fuel cell and other alternative fuels. Bush needs to keep a bigger eye on these big polluting manufactures, rather then giving them huge tax breaks. Bush reminds me of his father "Read My Lips". HAHA! Bravo Serria indeed! Bush wanted to cut taxes, yep! For the wealthy, and live the lower and middle class behind. I guess Bush is used to leaving people behind. He underfunds his own No Child Left Behind plan. If there was more Federal money then Texas would not be having problems with their education budget plan right now. Many other states are also having problems. Its because they are forced by the government to implement NCLB, and yet they are not getting proper funding.

The truth is there! You have to be able to realize that Bush is bad for America and Americans His approval ratings keep dropping, and America keeps getting in worser shape. I don't see things improving anytime soon.

Might I add on a final note that Bush supports BPL, and BPL would kill life-saving communications including the current hurricane nets. These hurricane nets are watching Dennis, and will be able to alert before danger hits. Yet Broadband Over Powerlines will put a stop to that. All because Bush and Co have invested in power companies. The same power companies who bush gave huge tax cuts to, and wants to allow them to pollute the earth, and continue to pollute the earth. Clean up America Bush before you try to go over in other countries and change the way they live. We have too many people on the streets in America that can't find jobs, because companies that YOU gave tax cuts to are sending work overseas. Because economy in America is horrible, and we are in a massive Debt.

Get your anti-Bush gear, and show the world you care about America and the direction it is going. http://www.antibushhq.com

Bush has lied to the American people and as a result thousands have died. Bush pushes for technology like Broadband Over Powerlines. Bush says NO to Abortion, taking away the right of women to choose. We are currently lucky that BPL has not been widly implemented, we are also lucky that abortions are still allowed. Why does that make us lucky? Well think about it.. umm.. you have a 14 year old daugther, she gets raped on her way home from a friends house. Is she expected to deal with the rape, and go 9 months to give birth to a baby that might A) Have problems due to drugs the rapist might have taken B) have problems in life because the child did not have a dad around. If the woman wants to have the baby thats her right, but she and her family have the option for abortion, and it should stay that way. Also there is the health of the mother or the baby in some cases. One case is enough to allow pro-choice.

Bush Says NO to gay marriage. Why? Religion? What happened to seperation of chruch and state? What happened to freedom. The freedom to choose your partners. Whats next? Bush banning Pagans from getting married, since Paganism is not accepted by Christians. Its not about bashing one's religion, its about religious tolerance. Its about choice. We live in America and we have freedom, and I want to keep the freedoms and luxurys I have. Those luxury's were not affected by Saddam. Many died in the tragic events on 9/11, but I have yet to see solid proof that Saddam was involved. The man involved is walking free, hiding in some cave, laughing at Bush.

I seriously feel there is no good time for War, call me un-American, but there really is no good time to kill. Not even "The Enemy". Capture is okay, as long as it does not involve the killing of anyone. Holding someone captive and feeding them (not beating them) is alright. Killing many innocent people, takeing many more hostage, holding them in prison where they are abused. That is WRONG! I may sound like a hippy, but come on "Make Love, Not War!". Peace on earth is what we need. When was the last time Canada had a terrorist attack? I don't think they have had one since I was born (1988) someone correct me if I am wrong. Please tell me if they had any before that too. The Canadians are doing things right, I suspect they have flaws in the government, like every government system, but they appear to stay safe. Some say that is because of America, but I suspect that Canada would do fine without us.

So now you are going to call me anti-American. I am not anti-American, but I believe that America can improve. That is why we live in a free world, we can express our oppinions and thoughts without being killed. One thing we can't do though is talk bad about the president and his policies without being calling anti-American. Bush is not what made America, if that was true, we would not be where we are today.

I wonder how much truth you can share before the government comes and arrests you. They will do it under the patriot act. I won't get to see a lawyer or make any phone calls. Thanks Bush!

I can't make it to Washington DC for the Anti-War March.. but I though I would share a link to a website I found. http://impeachbush.org

As their T-shirt says "Bush Lied. Thousands Died."

SB 21 - Another Attempt Make Money and Kill Communications

2005-07-07T22:36:00.000-05:00

Senator Fraser is up to no good again attemping to get another BPL Bill through.

Section A of SB 21 says " The legislature
finds that broadband over power lines, also known as BPL, is an
emerging technology platform that offers a means of providing
broadband services to reach homes and businesses. BPL services can
also be used to enhance existing electric delivery systems, which
can result in improved service and reliability for electric
customers"

Like SB 1748, the legislature fails to mention the harmful affects of BPL. Not only to the nation's prime communications, including the most important failsafe communication service of Amateur Radio. BPL will cost consumers tons of money, even those who choose not to get BPL. The powers charge consumers more for the energy they use to help cover the costs of implementing this system.

Section B of SB 21 says "The legislature finds that access to broadband services
is important to this state. BPL deployment in Texas has the
potential to extend broadband service to customers where broadband
access is currently not available and may provide an additional
option for existing broadband consumers in Texas, resulting in a
more competitive market for broadband services. The legislature
further finds that BPL development in Texas is fully dependent upon
the participation of electric utilities in this state that own and
operate power lines and related facilities that are necessary for
the construction of BPL systems and the provision of BPL services."

Here the legislature fails to mention that BPL is not a good technology. In the March 29 2005 article written by Lynne Kiesling titled "BPL LEGISLATION IN TEXAS" says that TXU Vice President Stephen J. Houle "estimated the cost at $300 million to $600 million to make BPL available throughout TXU's North Texas service territory." 300-600 MILLION for the North Texas Service Territory? The North Texas territory better be big! What about West Texas? South Texas? Another $300-$600 million? Where will they get this money? From the consumers! The costs to upgrade and implement BPL will be passed on to consumers. Even those who won't USE BPL! How is this right? I just can't see how that is right!

Bravo Serria my friends! The Market is already competitive. There are many alternatives to internet in the cities, and those who live in the rural areas can get Direcway! www.direcway.com! $100 a month. Not all that bad, considering Cable internet is about $50 a month. It also does not kill vital communication services.

Go to: http://www.gobpl.com/interference.html and read the quotes, you will see that I am not the only one against BPL.

Might I make mention that those hosting my blog here is a BPL supporter. Google has invested in BPL. http://www.broadbandreports.com/forum/remark,13837269 The way I see it is the investor was not smart enough to research and see that BPL Is a Flawed technology. Investors will be sad when the deal ends sour.

Route 66 Lyrics

2005-06-22T21:42:00.000-05:00

I have a version of this song that I can't find accurate lyrics for. Here is the lyrics from the song. The song itself is much like the other versions but alittle different. Not sure who does this version. I am sure someone does though. It sounds like Nat King Cole, but even the lyrics for Cole don't match what I am hearing. Am I hearing wrong?

If you ever, plan to motor west
travel my way, take that highway that's the best
Get your kicks on Route 66

It winds from Chicago to L.A.
More than 2000 miles all the way
Baby, Get your kicks on Route 66

now you go thourgh St. Louie, Joplin Missouri
And Oklahoma city looks mighty pretty
You'll see Amarillo, Gallup, New Mexico
Flagstaff, Arizona don't forget Winona
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernadino

Won't you get hip to this timely tip
When you make that california trip
Get your kicks on route 66.

Won't you get hip to this timely tip
When you make that california trip
Get your kicks on route six-six.
Get your kicks on route six-six.
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.
Get your kicks on route six-six

To Those Hams That Support BPL:

2005-06-22T16:24:00.000-05:00

This goes out to Lint and ASK and any other amateur radio supports BPL. Don't be misled! They are not placing BPL tests in Rural Areas and if they do they will still be charging people in the cities more for their utilities to help pay for BPL. People in the cities that already have Cable or DSL. Also BPL will not be affordable like it is said to be. BPL is not a breakthrough in technology. BPL is flawed and there for people to make money. Don't be fooled my fellow hams! Support the Anti-BPL cause, and throw out those nasty thoughts of ever supporting or using BPL.

Countdown To FD: 3 days

2005-06-22T12:42:00.000-05:00

Field Day Plans are now final.. We will set up Friday and then be on the air from 1800z Saturday to 1800z Sunday. 24 hours of fun, K5A will be on the air on 10-75meters. K5A will be calling CQ on 20 throughout the entire contest period, and K5A will be hunting and pouncing on the other bands, as well as calling CQ on the other bands. We hope to make plenty of contacts. This is not only a contest for us, but also preparing for an actual emergency. We are the only active amateurs in our small town, and if there was a disater we would need to be able to relay information, and relay it fast.

BTW: No Shure Microphes.. I just liked the graphic.. Instead I will be using my new Heil Pro-set.

Listen for K5A 2E NTX

Micheal Jackson.. Indeed a very innocent man!

2005-06-13T15:43:00.000-05:00

Micheal Jackson as just been found not guilty of any of the 10 counts. This has got to be the greatest day in the history of the U.S Justice System. An innocent man walks free. Whoa what a concept. The conspiracy to ruin Micheal Jackson as failed. This is a great day in American history and Micheal Jackson is now a free man. The great legend of Micheal Jackson will continue on!

I am now waiting for the verdict, and I will be watching MSNBC for the latest. I will keep you posting. I hope to jury took into account all the lies on the stand, and I hope they don't put an innocent man away. If they do, it will only back me up. We have a horrible Justice System, in the fact that there is rarly any justic. Innocent people go behind bars when guilty people walk.

A dear friend of mine is suffering from a rare disease called Wegener's granulomatosis. Please offer hope to those who suffer daily from this horrible disease. Please donate to the Wegnener's Granulomatosis Association.

Not trying to start anything, just sharing the truth. BPL is nothing but a flawed technology backed by big business. BPL is aimed to make money, not provide the people in rural areas with internet. Don't be tricked!

Countdown To Field Day: 16 Days

2005-06-08T18:56:00.000-05:00

Field Day is nearing even closer. I have my pro=set and I love it. I cannot wait to use this on the air during Field Day. I will be ordering my inrad filter soon and I hope that it comes in in time for FD. No big amps here, but I liked the picture. Listen for K5A during ARRL FD 2005.

Countdown To Field Day: 22 days

2005-06-02T22:53:00.000-05:00

The Countdown continues.. and our plans have changed a great deal. Instead of wasting money on a hamstick that will only be used for FD we are going to move my vertical to the backyard for Field Day. My dad may get a hamstick for 75 meters, otherwise we will work 10-40 meters during Field Day on two radios. the IC-740 and my Ic-718. I will be getting the Inrad filter and this weekend I will be picking up a pro-set. I am looking forward to Field Day, and hoping to log many contacts. Listen for K5A 2E NTX during ARRL FD 2005.
