Upgrading the Blog

I finally made the leap into the new Google-authenticated scheme on blogger.com. It was a good thing I did, because I found quite a number of user comments for the blog that were pending. All moderation requests were going to an obsolete email address.

Apologies to readers who made great comments along the way. They should now be posted.

Updated aa6e.net site

The ham and family web site at www.aa6e.net is now updated and reformatted with CSS styles. Unfortunately, upgrading the content will take a while longer...

Optimal Callsign Lookup Page

If you want a quick and minimal callsign lookup, you could do worse than www.aa6e.net/lookup.html.

An audio greeting!

Audioblogger is an interesting new feature. What's the best way to use it? -- Sparingly, I think!

Ham blogging

After working with web sites for quite a while, I am just easing into the blogging world. WA1LOU had an ARRL Web Article (June, 2004), but it took a while to bubble up to my keyboard.

I did a search recently and turned up a number of interesting sites. See my links at the right. There's a lot of room for growth here!

From an email to Dan, KB6NU:

... Interesting what you come up with on http://www.globeofblogs.com/ when you look at their "amateur radio" category. I did register there, and now you can find me among the SWLs, podcasters, and what-not...

This is really cutting edge stuff, I have to say -- ham blogging. Ham
radio, for me, has morphed into 10% on-air and 60% Internet, with maybe 30% non-Internet reading and building. (I've been retired for a couple of years.)

Ham radio as a literary form! Unfortunately, [a lot] of hams can't relate to that. I recently looked at QST's guide for authors. Their advice about avoiding high falutin' language is quite charming. Or maybe I could find another adjective.
