Thought I had provided the link for the photos from TI here on the blog (just the snapshot from Flickr), but I did not.

There are pictures from the 11 days there. On the upper right of the link is the ability to see them as a slide show; I would do so. The pictures are better seen as full rather than what you see on the screen as many of the pictures are of birds and you will want to enlarge the photos (like through the slide show) to see all of the colors.

Enjoy!

I am in the process of moving the home QTH to another location here in the city. Noted previously is the fact that even if I put up an antenna at the new location, 3/4 of the signal will be going directly into dirt. There are many good reasons for this house and the location that I won’t go into here. And, as noted before, I’m in the process of re-designing how I do my ham radio hobby.

But, moving in only 11 more days, I’ve been staring at all the radio stuff I have and wondering what I should keep and what I should sell…and what I should throw.

I saw a post on an e-mail reflector earlier today that has me thinking…why keep six boxes of QSL cards that I’ve accumulated over the years? It is pure weight and storage space and I haven’t looked through them since I moved to the Pacific Northwest 3+ years ago. I’m not chasing awards any more. I have a hard enough time answering the QSL cards as it stands.

How long do you keep your cards?

Yesterday, I received a call from W4MPY, the QSL Man, on my TI5 QSL cards. They are ready and shipping, so I should have them next week.

I have a LOT of QSL’ing to do, both for TI and for VP9.

Time to get on it.

If you are interested in the photos from TI5, there are 171 of them posted up on Flickr. They include some of the antennas we used, a trip to the Pacific Ocean, and some of the views of one of the 25 or so volcano’s in the country. And I thought Mt. St. Helens had fame…
