No fireworks photos, no photos at all actually. Spent time learning how to work my little transceiver. Realized that it didn’t quite have the power I needed. So, I went on a hunt for something a little more powerful.
First thing I learned, there aren’t many brick and mortar stores that carry ham radio equipment anymore. I did finally find one in Indiana but it was 3 hours away. Fortunately they had a website as well. As luck would have it they had a demo model Wouxun for sale. I ordered it and got it the next day!
I have spent the last few days working through the broken english in the owners manual to get it set up. Now all I need is someone to talk to on it!






Before you know it you’ll have friends all over the planet to talk with. And that will be cool.
