New Year’s Resolution For Ham Radio

January 1, 2010

New years day is a day to reflect on the past year and to embrace new beginnings or the new year. This pastyear has brought me many fun new experiences on new ham bands (for me) like 20 meters, getting my A.P.R.S. tracker insalled, configured and functional and getting to know the electical noise and propagation characteristics of a new home. New year’s resolutions include the commitment to explore, learn and implement WinLink (and probably other digital modes) and to research training in Morse code. I also plan to build a base station in our new home. And I commit to fully implement electronic logging via eQSL and perhaps other services.

I hope that you will take a fresh look at your ham radio operations. The hobby is so diverse and can be so technical that no one should ever feel they “know it all”. Find those areas that you don’t know much about and find out if they are of interest to you. I see many hams not doing this. They become bored and drop out… With that said…

Stay Radio Active!
