Tuesday Feb 14th, Valentines Day.
Wife cooked us up some eggs for breakfast. It was a very pretty day today.
The FCC sent me my license to operate and my callsign this morning. I got to work on getting my 2M radio setup. It took about 2 hours to run the coax through the attic, into the garage and through the garage wall into my cave. I thought I had to remove several cables from that opening to allow the connector though the wall. (Those wires powered the most critical items in my network so they could be run on solar. As it turns it out, the connector still didn’t fit and pulling the power wires out was a waste of time.)
I am terribly forgetful, so I printed a couple labels with my call sign and the “Phonic Equivalent” so that it is readily available.
I need to come up with a way of recording the audio from the radio for instant playback. It would also be handy to capture the frequency on the display if I am scanning.
