We have opened a new gift shop where you can buy T-shirts and more with proceeds going back into supporting GridTracker.org.

Please visit the Gift Shop

We have re-enabled “Donations“

There is No, Zero, Nil requirement to donate!

But if you decide to; it will be put to good use and we will document and publish where every dollar goes!

Thank you!

The ‘interview’ with “Linux in the Ham Shack” went very well I think. I put interview in ‘quotes’ because Russ K5TUX pretty much had me and our crew do all the talking! It was very fun and so wonderful to set back and hear what Sebastian W2ASD and Marc N3CAN had to say and just smile ear-to-ear. Thank you to Russ, Cheryl, Bill and Richard for letting us all talk your ears off! The podcast should be ready for download from their site sometime Monday and please listen to the end, something special happens and I couldn’t have imagined a better ending.

I will be adding the Volunteer Examiner (VE) section to the site soon, so those of you who want to help out but don’t want to fuss with Discord can do so.

And finally, my friend Dylan cleaned his room!

Dylan’s mom brought him over for what I thought would be a quick visit.

It was anything but quick!

We bumped elbows with masks on, and I said “Hey man, I’m Stephen.”, his mom walked past us and basically handed him off to me.  So I walked him into the office and his eyes went wide as saucers!  I wasn’t expecting him to come over, the ‘shack’ is a wreck, but he didn’t see any dust or clutter.  He walked right into the room and started pointing…”I want that, I want that.. I definitely want that!” and then he looked into “my corner” and said “What’s that?!”  and I with a grin ear-to-ear said:

 “That Dylan is my special project ‘GridTracker’”

You all know what happens next… His mom was busy with stuff and we chatted and we packed their car with the box and a few other things we discovered and they went home.

I got a quick update a couple hours later, he wasn’t allowed to open the box until he cleaned his room.  We all know that story too.  

So I’m waiting for an update and he will probably be on our Discord server soon.  So when you see him, please wave and make him feel at home.
