Ever so often I like to "take stock" of my life and also the hobbies that I practice. Why? Well this gives me an overview if I am on the correct track and also where and how I can improve the enjoyment of my hobbies. I am currently busy drawing up a list of "to do's" on how to enhance and use the equipment I have as well as constructing new projects to create new activity in many of my hobbies. As far as amateur radio is concerned I will be looking into the following aspects of amateur radio:
- Next Generation Amateur Radio Beacons.
- Adding a new AllStar/IRLP modified node to the GRHub Network.
- Add AREDN ESP32 Security/Weather cameras to enhance security in and around my home.
- Build a portable/mobile HF Amateur Radio Go Bag.
- Complete several homebrew amateur projects.
- Finalize/Enhance my Solar Back Up Generator to stay of the electricity grid.
-
Unbox, setup, build and test my 3D Printer. I have several amateur radio project prints lined up to enhance/protect some of my radio equipment.(Done and dusted!) - Finalize a few amateur radio antenna projects.
- Finalize several GRHub Network projects.
- Add a audio mixer to my amateur radio shack to receive and transmit audio to and from radio equipment.
- Upgrade PC equipment to enable me to provide a wider service iro VOIP, Echolink and Allstar.
