Why is this Blog so quiet?

Yes, there is lately very few posts coming forward on the Blog.  Now there is a few very good reasons why this Blog fell silent lately.  I deem it necessary to keep our readers informed of what is happening in the background.  No I am not going to blame the lack of posts on Loadshedding.  

The author of this Blog is currently busy with the following tasks:

  • Complete renovation and upgrading of the ZS1I Shack
  • Renovating of the current QTH
  • Intensive research on new amateur radio technologies
  • Research on how to alleviate the effects of Loadshedding and how to move off-grid without forking out hundreds of thousands of dollars. 
  • Research on harnessing wind power for the amateur radio shack.
  • Spend more time with the family especially the grand children.

I will however soon be back to update the Blog on a regular basis with many interesting projects and ideas.  

Herewith a few photos of the upgrading process iro the ZS1I  Shack:


I will compile a separate post in future about the upgrading of the ZS1I Radio Shack.
