My First Zilch Breakfast

Went to my first Zilch Breakfast today. As you can see from the photos, it was a snowy trip to McFarland. But I wasn't the only intrepid adventurer seeking a tasty breakfast and good association. I was joined by Gary (NG9V), Dan (AB9LQ), Phil (KE9XN), and Ken (K9ADN).

Ken recommended the Lantern Omelet which is also pictured. Very good!

February Meeting - Four Lakes Amateur Radio Club (FLARC)

Went to the Space Place for the February meeting of FLARC tonight. John L Steffl (WZ9I) gave a presentation on antenna modeling using EZNEC software.

The presentation was very interesting. It was raining when I left. Next time I go I'll probably leave early and visit the Madison Public Library which is in the same building.

HamLinks: The Ham Radio Toolbar for Firefox



I just downloaded the Hamlinks Radio Toolbar for Firefox. The plug in installed easily and seems to work fine. I'll try it for a month or so and see if I like it.

It's kind of a drag having the Facebook, Stumble, and Hamlinks toolbar installed and running all at once. I may need to disable one so I don't have this huge toolbar above every webpage I'm viewing. Thank all that is coded for F11!

For those of you still enslaved to Internet Explore, there is an IE version of the toolbar as well.

If anyone else tries it out, or has used it in the past, please give me shout regarding your experiences.
