Winter projects

We continue with upgrades and changes to Iemanja. Nav station will see an upgrade to house the Pactor modem which will be used to receive email over SSB radio. Hooking up the SSB along with its tuner. AIS will be allocated a aspot but will have to wait until spring when the radar mast is back in position. Some woodwork for our man Steve and lots of winter tinkering.

KC1APO and KC1APN here

We take a two day marathon ham radio class here in Essex jct. Bette passes both tech and general first try, while I get my tech Nd have to go back a couple of weeks later to retest for my general. We're good to go now and both can use the SSB radio for more than just basic usage. With ham licenses, we are able to sign in to many more frequencies.
