Pactor Three Update

I have just updated our SCS PTCII for use with the Kenwood 480SAT HF radio.

Count down

Carol retired last Thursday  (March 25) and Garry retires this Friday (April 2). We plan on leaving Thursday, April 15. So now we are getting into departure mood. Many loose ends to tie up re: car insurance (putting them in “storage”); renew our registration on the camper; final check ups at the doctors and the dentist (where to store the 3 months worth of medications plus all the prescriptions for refills while we are in Alaska); what clothes to take; getting all of the finances in place; renewing credit cards that are due to expire after we leave town; what to do about the mail; lining up our neighbor’s son to cut the grass ( getting cash to leave with his parents to pay him with); putting timers on some of  the lights and a radio in the house, etc.  We are starting to get excited as the time for departure draws closer. Stay tuned for updates.

APRIL 15 LAUNCH DAY

We are just weeks away from taking off for a 11,000 mile journey. Tour friends at Best Buy Bel Air and Active Day and all my Sony Playstation friends, please follow us during our travels. We start April 15th. Click on "We are here" and type in under search: KB3ADM.The map will be updated every three minutes when we have a beacon site to link to.
