Happy New Year everyone! I’m just back from a vacation that started on 12/22/2010. Other then the VHF radio in the car during the time I was in the car, I think this was the longest I wasn’t on the air and certainly on HF since I’ve been on HF. But my wire antennas survived a 2 foot snowstorm shortly after we left on vacation so I should be all set for the RTTY RoundUp this weekend.

I often get asked by people that see me wearing them, where I get my shirts, etc that has my ham radio call sign and my name on it. Everything so far has been purchased from CallsignWear at http://www.callsignwear.com and they are great. In the items I have from them which is a great pullover fleece I always wear, a long sleeve t-short and 2 short sleeve t-shorts, I get my call sign and my name embroidered in. In the pile of emails I had waiting for me when I turned my Blackberry back on after getting back to the US was one from CallsignWear with their monthly special being $11 short sleeve t-shirts which happen to be exactly what I’m wearing now. If you are interested, check out http://www.callsignwear.com/item.php?id=4 for a couple bucks off their normal price. Good deal on a good product and I don’t get anything for recommending them.
