I decided the home page was a bit overpowering and hard to follow, so now the font is smaller and some color has been used, hopefully to advantage. I also added a hit counter on the home page. On the Where I Live page, I added a usable google map.
If you think that I should be using larger print, let me know . Just click Comments and leave a message. I would really appreciate it if you'd make an entry on the guestbook page. It need not be long. Also, although it asks for your email address, nobody, including me, ever sees it. So, don't be shy, OK?
Just read a great article about making CW contacts. It is on the Links page, near the bottom. If you are a fairly new ham, or one trying to do CW the way the oldtimers do it, this info is for you!

DeBruycker, Arthur F.
Fairport: January 29, 2010. Survived by his loving wife of 35 years Diana; children, Barbara Barrington, James DeBruycker, Sandra (David) Malinowski, Linda (James) Schaap; step-son, Dale (Sherri) Bramer; 11 grandchildren; 3 great grandchildren. Arthur worked as a television engineer for several years around the Rochester area. He was also a ham radio operator for over 50 years. Arthur was also a US Army and Navy veteran serving in WWII and the Korean war.
No prior calling. The family will hold a Memorial Service at the First Congregational UCC Church of Fairport later this Spring to be announced. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the First Congregational UCC Church of Fairport in his memory.
NY2V note: Art was a close friend in the National Traffic System. He did not live far away, and he was a really good CW operator, using that mode almost exclusively to handle traffic on nets such as NYSCW, 2RN, EAN and the TCC. All of us in, or once in, the business of traffic handling will miss him greatly.
I had a fit with these pictures, but it came out OK. Go to the Pictures page and click on a pic.. you will get a full size result, with a caption.
This is a great program with many powerful features. I am still fooling with it, but have mastered how to use it pretty well in less than an hour. Got the QRZ, and eHam, sites updated to show this website and blog. Feel free to discuss anything - this is a ham radio site but it is a personal one as well and I will likely talk about other subjects. For example, how was your weather in the last day or so? Here it sank to 6 below zero and it snowed again. We are dug out.. I have no garage, so getting the car ready for use is a chore. I have a really nice parka that is earning its keep this winter. Trick of the day: Wear gloves but be sure you can withdraw your fingers, thus converting to a much warmer mitten. It can save one from frostbite. - Fred
