Late Winter Storm

Posted on by March 24, 2013

Just when I thought Spring was finally arriving, the National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning for the next two days.   We are expecting up to 10″ of snow this afternoon and tonight.  I guess I will just have to stay inside chasing DX and working on the Arduino project I have been putting together for the Link Observatory.  Shucks!!!

I’ll try to post a few photos when the snow arrives–assuming our HughesNet satellite internet does not go out.

Easter Island

It was pretty exciting being able to work Easter Island.  There is currently a DXpedition operating CW only from the island.  I am not sure how rare of DXCC entity Easter Island is, but it is exotic.  When I think of exotic places, Easter Island is near the top of my list.

I hope everyones gets the opportunity to bag this one.  The British operators are doing a fantastic job controlling the pileup.
