I debated on putting this video up on my channel because there was not much radio operating. Eventually, I decided to share our experiences at Falling Waters State Park in Chipley, FL for Field Day 2022. My wife and I enjoyed the weekend camping with friends, cooking good food, and walks around the park. Unfortunately, my Icom IC-705 malfunctioned and I was not able to participate in Field Day as I had planned. The plan was to work exclusively digital modes, but the radio would not connect to the computer. So, I was forced to use SSB. In the end, I was bummed about the radio, but still enjoyed camping with friends.

I wanted to share my trials and errors of setting up and using the dv4mini with the raspberry pi. I had many errors and re-do's along the way, but it has been an enjoyable learning experience.

Happy New Year, my YouTube friends. Today I am showing off my station located in the man cave of my house. Among the equipment is an APRS station, a D-Star radio with D-RATS software running, a ham mesh node, as well as other equipment. Hopefully someone new to the hobby will find this video and it may spark a new interest in the various things that can be done with ham radio.

Just a little update on what's in store for my Mosin. Just watched a video series from Iraqveteran8888 on refinishing a stock.
Check out his channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/Iraqveteran8888
They did a great job over on his page refinishing the stock on a Spanish Mauser, and I think I'm going to give it a shot on my Mosin.
Also, I ask a question regarding the bayonet.
