Attic antennas and zumspot hotspot

I’ve moved back to Florida and I’ve spent the last month and a half working on getting things setup, to include the ham shack. I live in a nice neighborhood with an HOA so no outside antennas. Luckily, I’ve got a high line roof and the cooler weather the last few days has allowed me to put up an off center fed dipole antenna for 40m/20m and a few other bands.  I’m also planning on putting up my VHF/UHF ground plane antenna in the  attic here this weekend.  My zumspot (or Chinese clone) arrived today and I got it up and running, waiting on a DMR ID so I can go YSF2DMR.  It’s too bad there aren’t more YSF repeaters linked to WIRES-X.  Off course, today is Day 1 of my WIRES-X experience! More to follow.

Welcome Aboard!

Good morning and thanks for stopping by!

I’ve been a ham radio operator since 2001 and I’ve recently upgraded to extra class. I spent a fair number of years out of the hobby with many moves and schools under my belt, but I decided to create this blog to include you, the reader, into my different projects and adventures with amateur radio and electronics. I’m also an avid motorcycle rider, scuba diver, pilot, surfer, runner, and love  the outdoors in general...I plan on sharing my interests in these subjects as well and how electronics and radio can be tied in. In my next post. I’ll give you a run down on the current state of my ham shack. Thanks again!
