My friend Malen VE6VID was visiting Arizona from Canada this week. I was able to join him on one of his Summits on the Air excursions. I drove back into the Hickey Mountain area, near Jerome, Arizona. We hiked the summit and got on our ham radios.

I love to review portable Morse code paddles. I am constantly on the lookout for new and interesting designs. I stumbled upon this one and immediately ordered it. It will be included in my Morse code paddle series after I field test it.

Ham Radio Emergency Nets are in place to give stations an opportunity to test their radio equipment. Many hams feel it is important to run their stations using off-grid power. Here is my off-grid power setup. Also, in order to have more reliable communications, hams often communicate through a repeater.

I went to the DeVry Hamfest this morning http://www.arrl.org/hamfests/april-hamfest-at-devry-8
I came home with a free GoPro Hero 3 and all my money! I don’t know how this could have possibly happened – haha.

A friend of mine located a data center that was swapping out some of their used batteries. He was about to get a huge pallet of them for FREE! He brought them home, and virtually gave them away to people who had been wanting to set up a solar system at home. He charged $5 each for the gas and effort. It turns out two of the batteries didn’t have much life left in them and failed after a few months.
I disconnected them and waited for the cost of LiFePo batteries to come down. They are fairly affordable now and so I purchased one to replace the four I had. This LiFePo4 battery is used by several of my friends and they say it works great!
