Listening to the Repeater
A couple of you guys have been listening in to the repeater when I've worked a station during "feeding time". Sorry for the background noise.

KD5NJR's new harmonic
My little boy was born yesterday (6/8/09) at 4:35 pm after a long time.
He weighs 9 lbs and 8.8 oz. And he is about a 1/4-wavelength for 2m.
More to follow on my little harmonic later. Mom is doing fine.

Moon Bounce | Echoes of Apollo
Moon Bounce | Echoes of Apollo
The above link for the "Echoes of Apollo" website cites June 27th as World Moon Bounce Day.
Coordinating talent like this is a good thing. Think of it as a modern type of Field Day. After all, hams don't get to use radio telescopes in a daily basis just we don't all use emergency communications on a daily basis.
Looks like there will be ways to participate even if you don't have a super UHF station.

How to Make a Fox Hole Radio
Hey guys,
Say you're thinking about making a project, but you're interested in if it really works first before you go through all the effort.
You might do a YouTube search. For example, for a Fox Hole Radio. Watch a few videos and see if they work well enough for your effort. For example, I learned (and expected all along) that you don't get a lot of AF gain from these units, that they basically get just 1 station (not too selective) but still a fun demo of a basic radio.
You can search for a lot more ham radio stuff too... QRP, One Tube Radios, so on and so forth. If you find anything worth mentioning, leave a reply.
