World Cup Stations I’ve Worked

With only 1 hour to go, I have decided to call it a day. I still have 8 stations to work, but I had fun. I have worked more Germans during this period than previously in my whole log, so not totally disappointed. Wonder what’s next, or maybe I need a break from Contest, Special Event Stations, etc.

I have also learnt I like the 20m band and am using it more nowadays than 2m.

New Header Images

OK, have posted some new header images and removed one which didn’t really work.

You will have to refresh the header a few (dozen) time to see them as I not going to post them anywhere else for now.

Chip and Pin

Got my new bank card today. Reading through the pamphlet the send with the card I got to thinking why with all the new technology involved with Chip and Pin am I still limited to a 4-digit pin?

I would rather have a longer pin that would be harder for other people to guess.

Talking of pins, I think maybe time for me to change my pin.

Wow, what a treat me blogging twice in one day!

The Mercury Is Too High

It’s that time of year again when I prefer being at work during the day, as the sun is shining too much and the temperature is too high.

Thankfully at the office where I work the Public areas are Air-Conditioned. If I have to work in back of office although not air-conditioned, there is enough fans that we could start a tornado in the room.

I feel I should say sorry to (any) readers of my blog as I am terrible at updating, but please remember my other site at 2E0TZO.co.uk which is usually updated with any Amateur (Ham) Radio stuff I do.

Moved Hosts

While I think about it, I have moved Gadget17 (hopefully without any problems) to a new host with which I am now paying for server space.

Now, when you pick your jaw of the floor at me spending money on hosting, I should say I am now with DreamHosts.

I will be sorting a special Promo code for readers to save money on hosting shortly with BIG savings.
