Fellow Static Crash Lovers,
Ham Radio is a hobby of learning, leading, and inspiration.
We learn, mostly through Mentors, clubs, and other like-minded
individuals who share a love for this
Charlie,
Wow! What an inspirational story! Somebody - Anybody, buy, get, borrow,
trade, etc. and get Brandon an amplifier for that sacrifice!

Hi Buzz
I guess I am confused.
K1N had significant expenses, and expecting the operators to cover all the
costs - including QSLing does not seem right
Let’s see. You likely have thousands if not tens of thousands invested in gear
and antennas. You have a computer and a monthly ISP bill. And a monthly
electric bill. These guys unselfishly invested their own time and a lot more
than $6 each to give you the joy of an ATNO and band/mode slots.

Ham radio is sure changing and not for the better. $6 for a QSL card is
outrageous. are they posting the logs on LOTW?
i wonder if those who kindly contributed to the expedition will have to pay

Yikes, HEAVY snow, freezing fog and 23 degrees F in Raleigh! It's really
coming down and accumulating FAST here! Next we're supposed to get hit
with sleet, freezing rain and ice - up to 1/2 inch! Hope my power stays on!

Hope for cloudy days after the ice build up. Towers often fail when the sun
heats the south guy wires. When the ice drops off rapidly, the weight on the
north guy wires can pull the tower over.

It's really a shame what that freezing rain will do to an antenna farm. I

fortunately rarely get ice storms of this nature and I thank God for that.
To see all your hard work taken down by nature is heart breaking.

Think of
Sandy. The power company did extensive repairs
and tree trimming after the storm. Since them we haven't lost power.

I keep a Honda EU 2000i genset
(http://powerequipment.honda.com/generators/models/eu2000i) in the house for
emergencies. We (Fairbanks, Ak.) had a wind and ice storm in November…lost my
160 wires for a while, two trees hit the house, and another broke the power
