This blog will be going black 1-18-2012 to Protest SOPA/PIPA!

Many websites are going to be blacked out tomorrow to protest proposed U.S. legislation that threatens internet freedom: Senate Bill 968, the Protect IP Act. From personal blogs to giants like WordPress and Wikipedia, sites all over the web — including this one — are asking for you to help us stop this dangerous legislation from being passed.

Please come back tomorrow to watch a video  to learn why we are opposing this legislation and how it will affect internet freedom, and if you agree with us, take action.

Regrets…

What was I thinking putting my radio back in the car? All that has happened is I’m being dragged into all the ham radio club Bull—- that I no longer want any part of.

After this year I don’t know if I will spend anymore of my time or money in a radio club.

Agh! Clubs

Since putting my radio in my car I’ve started getting involved in my local radio club.

I was hoping the current president would step down so I’d finally be off the board. Disappointed again.

Now some of the ugly side of radio clubs is rearing it’s head again and it appears I’ll be forced to take sides.

Maybe I should take another year off.
