We all know that Google indexes and provides searches for pages on the Internet. Also, Google indexes images on the pages it finds. Searching for Ham Radio images can produce some interesting results and is fun. I came across an interesting image search this morning. Try Google’ing “Ham Radio Desk” to see what you come up with.
Google Search – Ham Radio Desk
There are some good station building and layout ideas here. Also, you can see some cool vintage equipment. Some of these Ham Radio Desk images are pretty impressive! Which one is your favorite?
We’ve added some new features to our website to make it easier to use. In addition, we have continued to work on our website to improve its performance and security.
Lightbox Image Displays and Slide Shows
Lightbox Image Display
Our website has many great photo images from our members and we wanted to make it easier to enjoy our photo content. We have added a lightbox capability to make viewing images easier and more fun.Simply click on an image in any page or post and a light box display will pop up. The lightbox will display the image at its highest resolution. Next, move your mouse outside the lightbox to start a slide show of all of the images on the page. Finally, when you are done, just click anywhere on the page outside of the lightbox and it will disappear.

We were on Mt. Kearsarge a few weeks back for our second SOTA activation. This location had a great view to the south and provided us with a picturesque location to operate from The CQ VHF contest was going on at the same time that we were up on Mt. Kearsarge.
We brought our 6m portable station and used it for the second activation.
Solar Panel Power for SOTA Activation
The setup is solar/battery powered and it has worked well during both of our club SOTA activations. The setup provides 100w out on 6m and keeps the batteries charged throughout an activation.
Abby, AB1BY, Jamey, KC1ENX and Patrick, KC1HDN, were also up on Mt. Kearsarge and we all had fun hanging out together during the activation.
We have a great SOTA activation coming up on Mt. Washingon next weekend. Anita and I are really looking forward to this next one. See Jamey’s article for all of the details. It should be one of the most fun activities of the year for us. We hope to see you on Mt. Washington!
