I was in Huntsville yesterday and picked up an ICOM ID-52. Tonight I'm hearing a typical rant on 30-C. Oh how I've missed ham radio.

‘Twas the night before Hamvention and all through the grounds, not a person was sleeping, too excited by bounds! Join us in the morning at 10am for an opening ceremony.

Made it to Raleigh, NC tonight and was able to check in on the Johnston Amateur Radio Society 2 meter net on 147.270. Love traveling with my ICOM ID-52A. #ICOM #HamRadio #HAMR #AmateurRadio #ID52A #NorthCarolina #NC

While the hospitality is always appreciated, I always hate when friends spend good money on a "Cuban" cigar while on a trip. They are usually not legit, as is the case here. #cigar

I am now a member of the LongIslandCWClub thanks to the great presentation with Josh Nass on Saturday night. Just wrapped up the intro classes and even a beginners carousel class. #HamRadio #Hamr #CW #MorseCode

Another 3-city trip last week and another americanair series of on-time flights with great service. I will never understand all of the hate that AA gets. I occasionally have a delayed flight but it is pretty rare. I'm a very satisfied customer.

I am laughing at myself so hard right now. I am trying to coordinate a meeting in Las Vegas in March of next year. I honestly Googled "PAC-12 basketball tournament 2025" for the dates. This year is going to be a HUGE adjustment... Arizona Basketball Pac-12 Conference Big 12 Conference #MBB

I feel like I am cheating on a spouse today. I haven't flown with anyone other than americanair for a couple of years, but they don't fly to Casper, WY, so I had to go with another airline. I hope this is a one-time fling.

Wow. About 5 minutes with the new repeaterbook.com data in the RT Systems, Inc software makes me wish I would have trashed the terrible data from RFinder years ago. Glad that RTSystems has moved to RepeaterBook. So slick. #Hamvention #AmateurRadio

Very nice "Thank You" card from Lew Wilcox, KD8VSC, who coordinated all of the amateur radio volunteer security team at the Dayton Dayton Hamvention® this year. I encourage all volunteer coordinators to think about doing the same. #AmateurRadio #hamr
