While I was searching online for some new antenna ideas, I ran across this fascinating site run by Dave Williams (G8PUO). His catalog contains several interesting kits which could be useful in your shack. The layout of the site is good, clear, and easy to follow. Most of the kits seem to be uncomplicated and easy to build. Check out Dave’s website (https://hamkit.co.uk) and see what he has to offer.
Just a quick reminder to all Hawaii Island radio amateurs:
The 2017 Big Island of Hawaii International Swap Meet/Hamfest is coming to Waimea on Saturday, 13 January 2017, at the Waimea Community Center. The event is sponsored by the Kohala Hamakua Radio Club and will feature a ham swap meet, guest speakers, and VE testing after the main program. Vendors will set up their wares at 0900 HST, with doors open to the public at 0930 HST. VE testing begins at 1300 HST. Talk-In will be available on 147.32 MHz.
