BUSY
Wow, its been a busy weekend. About 6 Hams showed up Saturday and we got the Cable TV, CAT 5 for Internet, And several runs of four conductor pulled out to the new backyard studio. Jimmy and Les worked on the inside Saturday and put boxes on the wall and pulled in lots of romex wiring. I will have 3 220 volt outlets for the amplifiers and tons or 110 volt outlets, NO MORE POWER STRIPS!!!! I did find out during all of this that copper really has gotten expensive. Today was Sunday and i got back out there and got the internet cables where they need to go along with the phone, intercom and various other stuff. I even wired in an ON THE AIR light for Christy's studio. Its going to be pretty slick.
Wait til you see the lighting.. I will be using an old piece of rohn 20g tower as a support inside the studio. It will be mounted high on the vaulted ceiling and i have ordered stage lights that will be mounted to the the tower section. I am also going to do the same thing with Christy's Room as well.
Christy is back from Nashville now.. I am glad she is back. She got to meet allot of famous people while she was there, maybe next time i can go. She is really starting to show now, she is about 5 months along. It is real funny but I must admit kinda scary too. This will be my first. So the pressure is on trying to get the shack moved and the rooms in the house remodeled
OK back on the studio. We will be done with it soon as long as the money holds out and even if it doesn't, theres always credit cards.... It is going to be on heck of a ham shack/studio. Christy is wanting me to run all the feed lines from the towers underground. That is really going to be an ordeal but i do agree it will look alot better than a bundle of coax drooped over to the building.
OK there is still the grounding to do, sheet rock, flooring, sound proofing, and lots more but maybe in the next few weekend it will be done..I also need to figure out what to do about furniture such as desks, consoles and all of that.. if you have any ideas let me know.
Amongst all of this i did open an envelope from the ARRL this week end .. Inside i found a certificate That say i am now a member of the A-1 operators CLub . I have heard of it before but never thought anything about it til i got it.. Do some checking and google search it and see what it is .. Its kind of cool and an honer.
As far as radio time , i haven't had any but hopefully soon i will get some time to get on HF.. I miss it Bad!!. I cant wait to get moved in to the new shack, that's for sure. I am also planning on putting a vintage station on the air among lots of other projects
Oh we are still working on the funding packet for the hamfest, i really think the city is going to get behind it this year but only time will tell..
OK 73 for now Ya ll ...
