New NTE Blog / Contest

There is not much going on in my world, have not powered up a radio in a few weeks. Keeping busy with work, searching for my daughters first car, and college.

Maybe when the spring season kicks in I will start setting up in the yard and play radio. In the meantime here are a few links if your interested in checking out.

NTE Electronics has a new blog up for component education and discussion.

Enter the J-Tron contest for a new ECG Soldering Iron.

With college costs right around the corner I have been looking at part time opportunities to make a few extra bucks. I found a ideal opportunity if anyone is interested in making money with the internet.

The Wealthy Affiliate offers a complete online education for making money on the net, no matter where you live. If you have any questions or need more information I would be more than happy to get your rolling.

Enjoy your weekend!

The Long Weekend!

Wow... Memorial Day Weekend is here already. Looking forward to spending time on the radio in the yard if the weather holds out.

Sorry to say have not fired up a radio in a few weeks, work and family duties come first but excited and looking forward to making a few contacts to some cool far away places. In the meantime I have been enjoying reading the blogs on the web.

If anyone have a radio, kit, or building blog please let me know and I will add it to my list.

Have a safe weekend!

Today's a good day to catch up on a few things considering the steady rain this morning in N.J. and the sinus infection I am fighting. Glad I went to see the doc yesterday to get antibiotics into the system to help.

A new blog has been added to my list, W2LJ's QRP blog, which provides for some wonderful reading and has turned into a daily stop of mine. Larry does a great job keeping it fresh and updated with all things QRP and building. He also has tons of great info that will come in handy.

I see that the 555 design contest ended this week with a large variety of circuits entered. Be sure and check out link and all the very cool designs at 555contest.com

This afternoon during my Ranger Cap playoff game I am going to break out my kids Elenco 130 in one electronics lab and wire up a few circuits with the spring loaded contacts.

Depending how the game goes if the NYR are losing I might be doing more wiring the watching.

I came across a interesting blog about a guy who is driving around the world. When the roads stop he ships his truck.

Interesting reading and some cool adventures.
