Pacificon 2012

Tomorow Pacificon 2012 begins!

This is a big one since it is also the ARRL National Convention.

We are preparing to make the (short) trip and clearing out as many of our orders as possible before we go. We will be bringing a couple of launchers with us, if you are interested in one look for me. I’m not sure at this point where I will be, but I plan to be in the Antenna forum on Friday, possibly at the Buddipole booth Saturday, and Sunday I speak at the HFPack forum on my Arduino SWR Scanner project in the upcoming ARRL Arduino Cookbook and then I have a Launcher presentation mid-morning Sunday. If you have time to come by the presentation Sunday and share your launching experience with the group that would be good.

My wife Dawn will be operating the Cookie Lee booth with help from my daughter Jessica and son Chris.

Balun News

Big news on the Triple Ratio Balun kits. We have designed a new PC Board and have a small run of Balun kits available. They will be with us at Pacificon at the Cookie Lee booth. My son Chris KG6LXL is selling them. They will be added back to the website when we get a minute.

Field Day and Pacificon 2012

Hope everyone had a great Field Day! We sure did! We had a lot of fun with Antenna Launching, and of course with the radio as well!

Next up is Pacificon 2012 with the ARRL joining us for the National Convention! This will be a big one, and we have an Antenna Launching presentation on Sunday morning! Prior to that we will be at the HFPack forum presenting some new Amateur Radio Arduino projects. At other times you may find us at the Buddipole booth.

Hope to see you there!

New Servers

Our webhost moved us to new servers yesterday, and we are having to do some cleanup. Let us know if you have any problems.

Pacificon was very nice, and we had a great turnout at our Sunday morning presentation. Thanks to all who came or stopped by at the Buddipole booth to chat.
