The Anorak Files: Things are looking up
http://anorakfiles.blogspot.com/2010/02/things-are-looking-up.html
A blog dedicated to cool stuff like ham radio, birdwatching and bus timetables. Tuesday, February 9, 2010. Things are looking up. I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before, but I got licensed about four years ago, near the beginning of the bottom of the sunspot cycle. Add to that the fact that I haven't been particularly active for the past couple of years and I don't have a huge beam antenna or an amp, it means I haven't had many European contacts. February 9, 2010 at 7:51 PM. I'm a ham, have a science...

The Anorak Files: January 2010
http://anorakfiles.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
A blog dedicated to cool stuff like ham radio, birdwatching and bus timetables. Sunday, January 31, 2010. I've mentioned in previous posts that I'm learning the code. Recently a group of Croatian hams visited Vanuatu for a DX-pediton and used the callsign YV0MM. Vanuatu isn't that far from VK land so it wasn't hard to get an SSB contact with them. In fact they were on so often I could have got them every day, but that wouldn't have been fair on those that were struggling to get them. Links to this post.

http://anorakfiles.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
A blog dedicated to cool stuff like ham radio, birdwatching and bus timetables. Friday, September 26, 2008. I've come to the conclusion that the Icom IC-706 MKIIG isn't a good radio for operation in the field unless you have a decent size solar panel. My brother Laurie, VK4VCC. Asked if I wanted to borrow his 706 to use down there. I had been thinking of taking my IC-730 down, but liked the idea of trying out the little 706. I turned on my laptop and downloaded the manual for the radio and was amazed to ...

The Anorak Files: July 2009
http://anorakfiles.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
A blog dedicated to cool stuff like ham radio, birdwatching and bus timetables. Sunday, July 12, 2009. I've been meaning to learn CW for ages now, but never quite got around to it. I downloaded Ray's excellent G4FON Koch trainer. A while ago, but university studies got in the way and the laptop I had it on died late last year anyway. Well, a few people have blogged recently about Learn CW Online. If you've been thinking of learning the code and haven't got around to it yet, check it out.

Fifty and over it. Friday, 14 November 2008. Home Alone and Then Not. Links to this post. Tuesday, 11 November 2008. The last couple of months have been pretty full on with work and wildlife. We have had so many birds come in and out of our care it is scary. At the moment it is the bird season or what we call the silly season. Steve and I are very involved with the wildlife and the organisation that we are affiliated. As well as caring and rehabilating baby and injured animals we take the rescue phone ov...

Fifty and over it. Tuesday, 17 February 2009. Hamish R.I.P. May my little boy rest in peace. I love being a wildlife carer but some times it can be very emotionally draining. My next one will hopefully have a better start in this world and a better future. I live in hope of all the animals we get into care. Links to this post. Thursday, 12 February 2009. A day in the life of young Hamish the Brushtail Possum. My Name is Hamish am I cute or what. This is my bed till I get bigger. Links to this post.
