Ramsey Electronics Giveaway

Hey Kit Fans!

Be sure to enter the Ramsey Summer Nights Giveaway. I sound like the announcer in between innings at the local baseball game.

But these days anything for free is OK in my book, money is not growing on trees.

I bet King Kong even went inside for this one.

LED Throwies

From Make Weekend Projects - Extreme LED Throwies!

Great ideas for LED's with very simple circuits using an LED and coin cell battery. LED Throwies have to be the simplest circuit around.

Today's is going to be another hot one in NJ with temps reaching 97 F.

Stay cool!

June CQ Magazine

The June edition of CQ magazine was delivered this afternoon and it looks like another good read. The QRP edition a few months back was wonderful.

A quick glance at the contents page showed a few QRP and portable articles which are always a favorite of mine. I always get a few great tips and ideas to use when out in the field or better yet these sometimes get me motivated to get up and go.

Between the local paper, hockey playoffs, & Chef Ramsey yelling in my living room tonight I will add in CQ Magazine.

Enjoy your evening.
