Surfin': Buyin’ Parts, Part 2

This week, Surfin’ plans to visit the biggest source of ham radio parts this side of the Sun.

Surfin’: Buyin’ Parts

This week, Surfin’ waxes nostalgic about buying radio parts at the local electronics emporium.

Hayley Rose Superstar

There was a lot of excitement at home yesterday. The Hartford Courant used a photo submitted by my daughter, Hayley, our resident artist, photographer, and novelist, for the cover of their weekly iTowns magazine (you can view the online edition here). Her mugshot accompanied the her photo on the cover and a short bio appeared on page 3.

Needless to say, we were pretty buzzed by the event.

I handed Hayley some cash to hit all the newsstands in Wolcott to buy extra copies of the newspaper, while my sister did the same over in Waterbury.

That's a joke... newsstands are rare these days. CVS turned out to be the source of our Courant buying spree.

Surfin’: Ham Mapping Azimuthally

This week, Surfin' looks at online sources for creating great circle maps centered on your ham shack.

new ARRL web site up and running

The new ARRL web site is up and running. Current and past installments of Surfin' are accessible there.

On the new ARRL web site, all the URLs or links to past installments of Surfin' are different than on the old ARRL web site, so I will have to update all the references mentioned in this blog. It is a big job, so it will take some time to do it.
