Sky 9 – Landings at Delta Blake and at Westwinds

Sky 9 - Landings at Delta Blake and at Westwinds

Ashort video showing my lack of prowess at landings. One serious problem I have is getting instructor time. I need to fly a couple times a week, not every other week. The problem I’m currently having which is most vexing is the flare and touchdown–doing it consistently and with the right touch.

First Ever Connecticut POTA: A Video of Many Firsts and Jherica Operates W1AW!

First Ever Connecticut POTA: A Video of Many Firsts and Jherica Operates W1AW!


As those of you who have followed me through the years, you know we made the big move and are relocating to Connecticut. In case you didn’t realize, there are some serious differences between Mississippi and Connecticut. Enjoy a brief snapshot of some of these ‘firsts’ as we get settled in our new home. One of the biggies, Jherica operates W1AW at ARRL HQ!

I’ve gotta say, I was impressed with the Icom IC-705 and the ARRL EFHW. Running QRP we had a great time.

CountyComm GP 7 – General Purpose Radio | The Features I Wanted!

CountyComm GP 7 - General Purpose Radio | The Features I Wanted!

County Comm sent me a GP-7 to take a look at. It is the upgrade to the GP-5, a radio I own, so I was able to compare the two. I find the GP-7 includes all the features I wanted to see the GP-5 and is also more selected when compared against each other.

County Comm GP-7 is here: https://countycomm.com/collections/radio/products/countycomm-gp-5-ssb-general-purpose-radio
(Note to viewers, this radio was sent to me by CountyComm as I owner and purchased the GP-5 and reviewed it. I believe I remained objective and compare both radios fairly)
