Links

It seems these days that everyone puts a page of links on their site.  So, as you can see, I'm pretty normal, at least in this regard.

DicksonCatoHomes.com -- This is my day job.  

LDS.org -- This is my church.

K5ER.com -- This is Mark's site.  He's my contesting buddy.  Thus the motto "K5ER and W5WZ - Putting NORTHEAST Louisiana on the contest map"

CivicEnterprises.com -- This is Mark's day job.  

Twin City Ham Club -- The local general interest ham club in Ouachita Parish

ProvidentLiving.org -- Good advice for times of plenty and tough times too!

  

Troubleshooting my FT-1000MP. Here is the audio file of the problem, recorded 10/30/2009

I swapped out the audio board from a parts rig on hand, and the problem seems to be cured.

  

My friend and fellow Louisianian Bill Stoltz owns these businesses.  Here is the plaque he made for me.  It sure looks sharp!

Louisiana contesters --  This is cool. I parsed the FCC database records for Louisiana callsigns against K5ZD's supercheck partial file, then geocoded the results. Here is the map of 136 Louisiana hams found in SCP as of 5/10/08.  The yellow thumbtack marks the location of W5WZ.  If you want, open this file using Google Earth to be able to zoom in and get more details about each location.

  

4 States Contesters - I took the theory above and mapped Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana contesters.  Get a PDF of the map here, or download a file to import into Google Earth.
