Spring has sprung,

The grass has riz,

The leaves have come upon the triz.

I wonder where the flowers is?

Around here, they're still under a fair amount of snow.  In fact, it snowed here in the early afternoon.  Not enough to stick, but it snowed...  We're at a balmy +38F right now.

Are you building your own radio?

Not for the moment.  I'll get up and running on 2 meter and 70cm so I can learn the ropes.  Later on I might get into more depth.

The technician class test was fairly easy for me.  General is more of a challenge - less because of the technical (electronics) side, more because of the rules and regs and accepted practices.  I can test up to general free within a year, even though the pittance the examiner charges was hardly enough to break the bank.

BowCongratulations, Larry!Bow

Are you building your own radio? That used to be the way many amateur operators got their equipment, particularly their transmitters. There used to be two magazines, CQ and QST, which had quite a bit about what the operators were doing. I do not remember which one had the amusing column by Hashafisti Scratchi (his older brother was Hashafistic Itchi) which presented a running account of his trials and tribulations.

More than sixty years ago, I was intrigued with the idea of becoming an operator, but I never applied myself to learning the International Code, which was a basic requirement for any license. I do have pleasant memories of my electronics working (I say that I still have vacuum tube technology).

my sisters birthday which is May 15th

Hey!  Same as my daughter!

My Amateur Radio call sign has been posted on the FCC website, so now I'm an official "ham."  Now all I need is a radio to talk on (which I'm working on).

Don't think it's going to snow here tonight, but what snow is still here is taking its sweet time melting...

Spring?  Spring?  What Spring Willis? 

2 or 3 inches of white stuff overnight.

Never too old to have a happy childhood!

Happy B'd to Mamma!

They tell me Kentucky will win the whole shootin' match.  I don't know - I barely know what a basketball is.
