I received the following e-mail from Mrs. Suzie, a third grade teacher, concerning Ham Radio resources:

In my searching for information on ham radios, I found your web page (http://radio.mcdougallshome.net/links/) …there’s some good stuff on there; thanks for making it! In the aftermath of Hurricane Irene, our school district has decided to have a basic safety session. (We’re located in Vermont and were hit very hard!) We want to show the kids how radios can help relay important information! Here’s another good resource one of my student’s found that would fit in well with your information: “Ham Radio Information and Resources” – http://www.easyapplianceparts.com/resources/Ham-Radio-Information-And-Resources.aspx Would you mind including it on your website for me? I’d like to show my student his hard work is helping! I think others would benefit from the information, too! Shoot me an email if you get a chance to update

Thanks again!

Check out this good resource.  Also, check out Mrs. Suzie’s web site at http://www.mrssuzies3rdgrade.com/

New Logo, New URL

I am an avid user of the Linux operating system, and of course, a Ham Radio Operator. There happens to be a great podcast that combines these two endeavors into one.  Linux In The Ham Shack.  Recently, they have moved their web page and therefore have a new URL and here it is:  http://lhspodcast.info/ Check out Russ’s and Richard’s Linux In The Ham Shack site and their podcast.  If you are a regular listener to the podcast, it might be worth mentioning that they also have a new feed, so if you have been missing episodes lately (like I have), try updating the podcast feed.

I’ve also updated their link on my Links page.  Check that page out for other places I visit often.

Keep up the great work guys!
