Hiatus extended

 

Pressing needs – besides needing my attention there is much driving.

You may catch me on the radio here and there, as running the station is a welcomed familiar counterpoint to a suddenly upset situation.

All non-essential projects are sidelined. If it doesn’t involve our household, work, church, personal fitness, or yet another emergency, everything is shelved for now.

For the few folks sending emails asking about QSL cards, QSLing won’t resume for some time. That includes the mail processing of the monster load of cards. I doubt I will look at any QSLing until well into the new year.

Brief Hiatus – please check out some of the 2100 other posts

Have something unexpected that requires attention and plenty of windshield time.

I’m short on time to finish off draft posts for publication.

I invite readers to browse the roughly 2100 other blog posts during my brief hiatus.

Reminder about Commenting

With Varying Frequency expects your call sign in your comments before they will be approved.

If you don’t have one or have a special reason that your comment should be posted without your call sign, contact me.

Exceptions are few from truly anonymously left comments needing approval, as most of those get trashed in bulk periodically.

Slid right past that 2,000 Blog Post Milestone!

Yeah! Over 2000 posts at With Varying Frequency!

I didn’t even notice when I went past the milestone a few weeks ago.

Started in January 2007 and here 15 years later I’ve average a bit under 72 hours between posts.

Though I had made a few posts prior, the public face of this blog was launch January 2007:

Welcome to “With Varying Frequency – Amateur Radio Ponderings

Hence the Hiatus (Oct-Dec 2013)

A kind email from Jeff KE9V was the latest asking why no posts to “With Varying Frequency” for an unusually long period of time.

Personal & Professional travel, an unexpected need to step-up to fill an important Volunteer Leadership position when help became needed, and a very busy work period had cut down uncommitted time to where triaging had to happen. Even my operating time has been cut to an hour or two here & there chasing DX as I have been AWOL from my usual 160m net for months.

All good things, these distractions and extra tasks, and there is light at the end of the tunnel. Working on two series pieces that should debut in a few weeks.

As always I am good at the email address at my QRZ.com page and 73

With Varying Frequency – past 1200 Posts!

I missed marking the occassion, as a few posts ago this blog passed 1200 entries.

Very much thanking all readers for hanging in with me.

I’m also looking for a volunteer(s) to “data mine” the entries for some sort of eBook to share.

Afraid we’re likely to have no fame or fortune for the effort, but I know we can help a lot of starting (and not so new) radio amateurs with a better format for the educational/sharing entries in some other format.

Please post a comment or email me (I’m good at QRZ) if you are interested in sharing the byline!
