Happy Valentine’s Day!

This blog is mostly about my geeky side. You all might be shocked to learn that someone as totally geeky as myself has a different side: namely, being husband to the love of my life, Carmen.

Back in 2000, in front of friends and family, Carmen and I declared our love and commitment to each other, and through the past decade, I can’t help but wonder at just how extraordinary a woman she is, and how lucky I am to have her as my partner in life. I hope that if any of you are one percent as lucky as me, that you’ll be sure to let your partner know that you love them and appreciate them.

Happy Valentine’s Day, Carmen. I love you.

G3XBM: A Simple Sideband 10m Transceiver

I always like reading G3XBM’s blog: he’s been interested in all kinds of cool QRP and LF stuff that I find really intriguing. What makes it even more great is that he’s decided to apply his significant talents toward designing a very simple sideband rig for 10m. It looks like he’s aiming toward a dual sideband rig with a simple direct conversion receiver, with a target price of around $32 US. Very intriguing! I’ll be monitoring this closely. As the sunspots heat up, a little rig like this could be an awesome amount of fun.
