Hello, world!

Let's see if this still works....yep, apparently, it does.

Updates:

• Got my ham license in March -- my callsign is VA7UNX. I got Basic with Honours, which in Canada means you get to use the HF bands. I've picked up a used Elecraft K2, and have been mainly working QRP out of parks and trying to figure out antenas. I've made a handful of contacts on SSB to Oregon and Washington during the 7QP contest, and just last week made my first CW QSO to N6RNP in Chico, California (1050km!).

• I went to Hamvention in Dayton^WXenia, OH and met folks from the SatNOGS and Phase 4 Ground projects. That was excellent.

• At Hamvention I picked up an Arrow II antenna from the AMSAT folks, plus a spare Baofeng (at $25, why the heck not?) and have been trying to work satellites. No luck yet, but efforts continue.

• I'm going to be attending the Open Source Cubesat Workshop in Madrid this September, kinda-sorta as part of the Phase 4 Ground project. This blows my mind.

• I've put in an order for most of the parts for a SatNOGS rotator. They're slowly trickling in, and hopefully I can get something working by the fall.

• There will be a trip to Tampa this summer to visit my good friend Andy Seely.

Now back to cleaning up the house in preparation for my parent's visit.
