If you’ve tried to contact me recently and haven’t gotten a response yet (sorry about that!) it’s because I’ve been unusually busy: writing a shortwave radio buyer’s guide for The Spectrum Monitor<\/a>, several reviews for WRTH 2016<\/a>, plotting another reader challenge<\/a>,\u00a0and last but not least, putting together the final details of the SWLing Post DXpedition at PARI<\/a> this weekend.<\/p>\n

Soon I’ll be\u00a0another kind of\u00a0busy, at the DXpedition: \u00a0exploring the bands, gazing at the stars, and hanging out with some of the SWLing Post<\/em> community. Needless to say, it’s going to be fun, and I’m looking forward to it.<\/p>\n

If we have Internet access at PARI, we hope to\u00a0post a few loggings and photos from our Twitter account<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We have about a dozen registrants this year, a good start. \u00a0If you can’t make it there, no worries; if all goes well, we may have another next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
