my new shortwave listening site and CC3

JimP

I made an example outdoor antenna with a house, and used the CA73 annual to make a corkboard note to myself.

Any comments ?

Nicely done! I have found CC is a very helpful program for all sorts of things, not just game maps. How did you do the border, or is that tucked away in an annual somewhere?

JimP

The corkboard border comes with the template. The border around the yard drawing for the antenna are two border bitmap fills that came with something from Profantasy. I used the Box poly to draw them. And added them to a template and saved it as one I made. I think the stone one came with it, and I added the 'glass tile' one.

I know this is comlpetely off topic and I apologize.

But today, Saturday, I passed my U.S. Technician class license test. Decades in the making. I finally got the chance to study, and take the test.

Yipppeeee !

I now return you to your map making.

Congrats Jim! It feels so good to finally reach a goal after working long and hard at it.

JimP

Yeah, over 20 years in the making. I'm a ham radio operator overnight.

20 years ? Yeah, my dad got job transfers rather regularly when I was as kid. Slowed the studying way down.

A beer for me please and congratulations for JimP.

Of course the previous sentence should be the other way around, but what can I say, I am thirsty :-)

JimP,

Do you have a HandiTalkie, or some way to get on the air besides through the Internet?

I have an HT that is just sitting gathering dust that's looking for a good home.

I just ordered a Yaesu FT-60R, but if you live in the US, I'll take it !

Just whisper me youer email address and we can discuss it.

JimP

And I've had my first QSO, on air contact, via a local 2 meter ( frequency band) repeater. I'm happy.

BoomerET

Yea, the Wouxun is definitely something you have to work at.

JimP

And now I'm a General class license holder, keeping the same call sign.

My web host had problems this past weekend, but my SWL site is viewable again.

My ham radio site is now here.

Big Congrats,

I am taking the classwork now myself to get certified. We have a small private Grass landing strip here at the farm and I thought getting cert would be a great addition to the AP.
