Post WB5SPA Spa Amateur Radio Association Christmas Party / December Meeting
on: November 12, 2012, 13:14

Remember that this next TUESDAY (12/04/12) is the regular meeting night of the Spa Amateur Radio Association and is our Annual Christmas Party and Dinner.

Location is at Smokin’ In Style BBQ (http://www.smokinnstyle.com/), 2278 Albert Pike in Hot Springs. Dinner is ‘self serve/pay’ through the line and starts around 6-PM. We will be in the large banquet room, down the hall, past the restrooms.

We will begin our very LIMITED meeting around 7-PM. As always, officer elections are the main order of business.

AND…….. There will be door prizes! NOTE!!!! – YOUR 2012 DUES MUST BE PAID BEFORE ELIGIBLE FOR THE ‘MEMBER’ DOOR PRIZES! There will also be a few ‘visitor’ prizes.

Please see the treasurer before prize drawings start, if you have NOT paid 2012 dues. As always, you can go ahead and pay your 2013 dues at this meeting.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there.

Robert (Bob) King, W5LVB

Sabbatical away from the Whack-a-Mole of technology

So many things have broken over the last six months that there is very little left intact. Since spring there have been a long string of power surges, lightning strikes, wind damage, and magic smoke leaving nearly every device. By the time one thing was fixed and operation another event would break three more things. As if there were not enough issues, a fallen tree took out the antennas for the shack. The last of the base radios failed early this fall.

I’ve removed the blown up equipment and supporting wiring. I lack the time and energy to rebuild what was a decade in the making. I’m going quiet for a while. I may well be back at some point, but that is far enough down the road not to be in sight.

Due to aging hardware and software in the data center this site cannot be upgraded without a complete start from scratch, and an upgrade is required to get it to run on modern software. As bad as the whack-a-mole with the radio and power systems was, the digital side of things has been an even bigger handful.

I am going to archive this site into cold storage for another day where I might be able to pull a magic rabbit with a quick fix, but don’t look for it soon. If you want anything that is on the site I’d suggest downloading it very soon. Nothing will be erased, and it may even return sometime between later and when pigs take flight.

In the ways that matter things are fine, so don’t worry be happy… I’m also shutting down the last of the online projects as soon as a graceful exit presents. It is time for a long sabbatical to examine the insides of my eyelids and recharge.
