New Callsign W6AKB

Yesterday I was granted callsign W6AKB. It is going to be difficult to stop using WB6ZQZ which I have used for a very long time. The new callsign is a bit quicker and easier to understand over the air in noisy conditions, shorter on CW and it is my initials so I should be able to remember it!

Soon I’ll have a separate website at www.w6akb.com for ham radio stuff.

Yesterday I fabricated a neat new jig to make it easier and more precise to drill pressure chambers. Always looking for improvements. Over the past week I also made some improved software for organizing orders, received another batch of PVC for parts and we shipped a bunch of launchers, but there is still a backlog that we are working on.

Thanks for your support!

Field Day 2011

Field Day has come and gone, and we are scrambling to catch up with all the new orders that piled up while we were away. We ran out of just about everything, so it takes a bit more ordering and other effort to get it going again.

We got a new shipment of the special barrel material, so that is not a problem.

Full speed ahead!
