I like this swapmeet because there’s plenty of parking and it’s easy to
load and unload. The atmosphere is cozy and very friendly. Last year
had a good crowd, a good turnout of people, but was very short of
equipment for sale. Although it is nice to see and visit with old
friends, and make some new ones, the purpose of the swapmeet is to buy
and sell equipment. I hope to see you there!

I wonder if we can post equipment for sale or trade here on this web site? There are many web sites that have that feature now. Not that this web site needs to have or host that, but this web site is fairly unique. Any thoughts?

I am not sure if winter where you live has been as long and snowy as it has been here. I am feeling like I need to get out doors with my radio and do some thing. I have some favorite places to operate. maybe tomorrow I will go check them out. Just to see what they look like. I have a tent, but really wish for some thing more like a small camping trailer to operate from. Most of the time I just operate from the tailgate of my SUV. With its rear hatch type door it works well. I can keep shady under the door and have a bug screen and a tarp to drape around me if needed. Its a fair set up.
But its raining now, sure to be freezing rain soon. More winter to come. I sould just hunker down here I guess and dig into my stack of logs that need attention. I have some real work to do in here. In November my mother board fried. I lost every QSO up till that point. (yes I have the hard drive. But the data seems to be missing?) However I had been smart.. I kept a paper log too!
Now to transfer that data..to my NEW computer. hey I have a new computer! ( I didn’t tell you?) OK I will just dig in and get it done. that said, I have been scanning my QSL cards that I recieve into a web page. That has been on hold and now, I have quite a stack to scan. But if you want to see my QSL cards go to www.kb0nmq.com I have nearly all of my cads posted ther. I have a few new ones to scan in. About 125!
Hey, I hope your having fun with ham radio! Where ever you are.
