KG5LTL Ham License For Jim

Jim just got his Technicians Ham license KG5LTL. He'll test for the General next month. He has a hand held 2 meter radio and his 10 meter system will be up and running in a few days. He hopes to talk to Europe at some point when the conditions are right. He hopes his Dad decides to get his radio setup again so he can talk to him in Florida. At some point he hopes to learn Morse Code(CW).

Accomplished Hunter

No mice in the traps last night so Carl handled rodent control the old fashioned way.

We had a great time yesterday celebrating Jim's birthday at some of our Temecula wineries.  The below pic features Jim with Oak Mountain's Steve Andrews and Randy in Oak Mountain's wine cave.
