I am currently in the process of moving my shack into a different room. Hopefully, I will be completely set up by January 1st. Then it’s back tot he CW grindstone. I’ve got the alphabet down, now just need to work on copy. That’s been a struggle.

I plan to do more single and club POTA activations. I want to pick one park and do a SSB, CW, & Digital activation on the same trip. This will lead into reworking my mobile setup. Example – install hf mobile.

For 2 years, I’ve said I was going to make a satellite contact.  Maybe 2025 is year, we’ll see.

I look forward to working on RRVARC activities and presentations.

And finally, I want to improve my contest scores. There was big jump from 2023 to 2024 for me. And I want to make that happen in 2025. Maybe even set up an SO2R station (that’ll probably a 2026 goal).

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year
