Perhaps most of you have heard (or not) there is a new local telecomm dealer called, 3 Star, Inc which is located on 9487 King Air Ct Ste C, Ashland 23005 near the Hanover Airport. Tetephone is 804-550-7202.

Logan Naidoo is the proprietor. His website is www.3starinc.com and contains information on every item he stocks. Of interest will be a complete line of Rohn Towers which as I said are in stock.

I thought I'd pass this info along to those interested in constructing a new tower.

Where is James?

So where is Viars? Since I haven't seen him on here lately, I thought about emailing him and asking him what he had been up to. But I thought it would be more fun if EVERYONE took the time to drop him a message and see where he has been.

So click on this link to email James, and drop him a message. Tell him FieldComm misses him, but don't make it sound too gay.

An education in radio

Sunday, January 03 2010 @ 09:40 PM EST

Proof that there is always something to learn in radio is shown here, in this video clip of Brad, AI4FO and Noah (no call sign yet but obviously soon). Noah shows his Dad that he needs to turn on the antenna tuner, because otherwise you end up blowing up your stuff. Make it part of your new years resolution to learn something new in radio that you always wanted to know about. And if you happen to be the one I loaned my ARRL basic radio book to, let me know.
