Talking on the nets.

While I heed the advice of experienced hams and listen most of the time while I am on the radio, I have been enjoying participating in the local nets on VHF. One of the local clubs, Amateur Radio Caravan Club (http://caravanradio.org/) operates a repeater, W5CSY (145.33 MHz), and has a daily net (SCAT net) at 0700 MST that I have been enjoying. They are some seasoned operators, which is nice, and they are really patient with my lack of experience.

I received a fun toy in the post today...a 3.5" LCD touch screen for my Raspberry Pi radio project. More to come on that as it comes together.
