  • Ham Radio mentioned in Television Ad- funny.

    Funny ad from VELVEETA talks about that guy with a ham radio in his basement who talks to China... etc. Not exactly Flattering, but I guess as long as they are talking- it's all good. What do you think of it?

  • Miami Hamfest 2013 Video

    Excited to report we just got back from the Miami Hamfest. Great weather and a beautiful day. Worked some DX from the mobile both ways on HF and Amy (KI4RHL) and I had a fun day. 

    We got a chance to walk around on Friday and chat with some of the vendors in anticipation of the Hamcation and of course our upcoming hamfest on 16 March. A hamfest on Superbowl weekend is always a tough competition- I suspect that might explain the decision to not be open on Sunday. 

    So if you have the time- go visit on Saturday and support the hamfest- admission tickets are $12 each.

  • How to renew membership- Video

    How to renew online - even if you already paid dues in person or by check- you will need to do this to create a membership renewal invoice for us to mark "paid". If you wish to pay using PayPal or credit/debit card- you may choose to do so after the invoice is created. Please change the Quality to 720 (click on the gear) and watch full screen to see detail.

    I hope you find this much easier than expected. I look forward to your feedback.

    Fort Myers 2013 Hamfest

    Here are a few photos shot at the Fort Myers Hamfest. The venue was a new one for the Fort Myers Club and they did a GREAT job with a very good turnout. I hope to see them at this venue next year. I won a prize at the hamfest- an Audio amplifier kit from NightFire Electronics. 

    It was good to see so many friends at the hamfest in Fort Myers, Florida. Don't forget the Stuart Hamfest is coming soon on 16 March, 2013. First Prize at our hamfest is the Kenwood TS-480SAT and the hamfest is still FREE admission, FREE, tailgating, FREE parking. See you there!

    Here is the album on Google Plus Tip: if you want to see the album in Full Screen mode (like we had on Picasaweb), press F11 to toggle Fullscreen- press it again to return to normal mode.
