More Zero Bureau QSLs

I received these QSL's from the Zero Bureau with the explanation for sending only three QSL's-- they were at the Bureau for a long time with no new additions, so He sent them now. During contest season I expect to have many more cards but I've been too busy to be on air much lately.
The Zero Bureau sends a current supply info sheet so I know I need to send more money for stamps and envelopes.I will do just that so the flow of QSL's will continue.
VHF contest this weekend but I doubt I'll find the time to participate. Weather has finally moderated to more normal Autumn temperatures so outside chores are much more pleasant!

Game Camera Pictures


several nice game camera pictures. I find lots of activity both at night and during the day around Our property. Neat to have this technology available for less than $100 .
  I also found My operator error in not being able to add pictures or text at the same post. I needed to change to "compose" mode and not leave it as "HTML". Always something!!

N8I QSL card explained

I've been having a difficult time adding typed words to My blog posts. Probably operator error and I hope to figure it out soon but until then pictures and words aren't happening!
The previous post shows My QSL cards from the N8I CXpediton ( a play on DXpedtion-means a "close" expedition versus a far or "DX" one!) First i have heard of that explanation but its very apt for this close by contact.They spent time on Isle Royal, an island in Lake Superior which is within 100 miles of My QTH. Very cool since most of the operators I know from local Ham Radio events. Conditions were not too great but I managed to work them SSB on 75m and 40m. Well worth a QSL and a job well done by the group!
