Ground Breaking

We finally broke ground, in a big way on the new house on 21 January 2009.  I am building the downstairs "basement" and will move there in June or July.  My 2 dogs, Blue and Rosie approve of the change to the rural setting.  It is just 10 minutes or 3 miles from the city of Volcan, but a world away from the traffic and noise.

I am looking forward an even better location for my ham radio and photography than I have with my rented house in the city of Volcan.  The mountain air and slower pace have been good to me as I have lost (the extra) weight and my blood pressure is much lower.

I have been on several photo adventures in the past few weeks and everyone has had a great time as well as some good exercise with the hiking.

I have invited a couple of International hams to visit me and we will see if any of the plans materialize.  This is a great DX location with almost 10,000 contacts since February 2007.

Take care and all the best from the land of "Eternal Springtime"; the mountains of western Panama.
