Other things that are fun to do (Besides blogging, Facebook, and twitter)



I injoy many things, but one of the things that I enjoy most is Amateur (ham) Radio Contesting.
  You ask "so what is ham radio contesting anyway" My answer could take several pages, and probably
Should... but it wont, lets say this, the goal is to contact (not via email, instant messaging, or SMS) but on the radio, as many other stations as you can. in different country's or state's (depending on the contest) in a specified amount of time, usually 12, 24 or 48 hours.
  Now you ask "so who in there right mind is going to stay up ALL night just to talk to people that they have never met" well actually a lot of people will.

There is a lot of Competition, as to who will win
the contest, or who will win out of your state,
 section, or division.
 Because, if you win enough times your room (Shack) could look like this (this is the shack of long time contester jh4uyb, in Japan)
Mine dose not look like that unfortunately!
 And you can talk ALL over the world.
    You can become a better operator.

But most importantly you have a lot of fun.

   Well now some of you might see why, but for thouse of you who dont please email me to find out.
