Sorry that it’s been several months  since any new topics have been posted.  The site manager  had a major stroke in April that put him in the hospital for four weeks and Jim has been recovering since.

Now that AF5NP is doing much better and has regained most of his functionality and energy we can think about writing and posting new material.  Still don’t have full use of the left hand, which makes typing awkward.  But we hope to roll a few things out in the near future even if he has to type one-handed.

Here are some of the topics on Jim’s list to prepare:

• Practical skills for the radio amateur
• Don’t settle for just a HT
• Using a multi-meter
• Your QRZ profile
• License study
• Call sign variations
• Guide to using PowerPole® connectors
• Packet radio
• Dummy loads
• Public service events
• Radio craft language
• Ham radio license plates
• ARRL membership

We will also add a page of recommended reading to share publications that are particularly useful.
