I shoot with a Canon 40D, and have two lenses. The kit lens (28-135 f/3.5-5.6) and a prime 50mm f/1.8 Canon lens (The “Nifty 50.”) And I use Photoshop CS4 for post processing. LOVING photography. :)

NIce Site. I hope it is getting lots of exposure. Have you considered trying to get Clubs to add info about this Site to their Web Sites??

I added the ICOM IC-7000 to your gear list. Hope that worked OK.

I tried to add some gear to my “Have” list but it did not seem to work.

73,

How do you like that Taktenna you got at the hamfest? I have had pretty good luck with mine. I have it at a little under 6 feet off the ground. Doesnt break the contest pile ups but works alot of stations.

Yep, that is a VX-8R in the picture. Great radio. Currently there is not an APRS receiver in the area close enough to hit with it, but that is being worked on. Are you planning to do the upgrade http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/ht/0008vx8dr.html ?

Chris,

My kids and I were watching old episodes of HamBriefs around 9:30 PM central time the last two days and each time we watch an episode, it seems that the site goes down. Is that a coincidence?

Hi, Chris, The Wuoxun was $115 and that included shipping from 409shop.com. I try to stay away from ebay and the shipping prices they charge there.

I posted a reply in the forums but my avitar is covering up a big chunk of it. Is my head getting bigger?

Chris,

Just watched Episode 44 of Hambrief. Noticed the lighting was off a bit.

Check out Film Riot, they have a great little segment on lighting that is easy to do, and will make the scene stand out much better.

Keep up the good work.

Just watched your latest videocast and you mentioned being able to do “tweets” via APRS. Do you have any more information about how this is done or could you do a videocast on the subject. Keep of the good work.

Our 1.2 is quiet as well. Although, that may be because it just came online last week. And no one has a radio for that yet. So I suppose we may not know whether our 1.2 system even works or not!

Thanks Chris for the video about the IC-718, from box to QSO’s!
Another excellent job! Do keep up the good work, and sharing it with us all. 73’s and GUD DX. de, KD0QV—Jim in Iowa

P.S. Note to all who are thinking about ATAS-120: Be very careful with them. Fragile stuff, and won’t take a beating! Must be sent back to factory for repairs. Works great, wish it was bullet-proof!

I Tweet, therefore, I am.

Is the APRS thingy still not working on the sight? I don’t see APRS messages anymore. I don’t see me on the mappy thingy either.

I am soooo incredibly bored right now. Maybe I’ll tweet about how bored I am and other’s can tweet their simpathies. Or perhaps Tweeting isn’t the way to go and I should APRS how bored I am. Then again, that would not be a two-way communication and Big Brother may not like it.

Oh well, there’s always Facebook…
