It's been a while since my last post, so I just wanted to give everyone a quick update with what's going on...

Obviously, it's the middle of February now and after the ARRL DX contests, this year's season will be almost over. Of course, there are always contests, all year round, but the bulk of them are from October to February.

Speaking of the ARRL DX contest, I'll be at 6Y1V for the CW segment. What are your plans? (comment)

As you can see, my website hasn't changed since I re-built it in December.

I still have plans to re-build it again, but I've been extremely busy during the last month. The 1st semester of my Freshman year in high school just ended last week, so I was busy working on my grades. Baseball also just started again, so I have conditioning every day after school.

I do still plan on re-building this site again, I just don't have a time table set up anymore... Hopefully I can get things finished before summer. "Things" being:

1. Re-build K0DXC.COM (again)
2. Start the other Amateur Radio website I talk about in my video
3. Build an online community... But that just happens naturally!

By "Build an online community" I mean build up a following of people who come to my site(s) to read content, and interact with others. Like I've said before, I'm doing this to get others involved, and to have some fun. Everyone (most people) are interested in what young hams have to say. I would be more than happy to give my perspective on what's going on, and write about what's happening in my Ham Radio life.

Speaking of writing... I've been so busy recently that I even had to cancel a few articles that I planned on writing... The biggest one being a story of my experience (second time around) as a part of Team K3LR for CQWW CW 2009. It was set to debut in the March/April issue of NCJ... But I just haven't had the time to write. It's still on my to-do list. Hopefully I get it written soon.

I've even missed out on the last few contests that I originally planned on operating! Now THAT is NOT normal! First, I only had time for about 3 hours in the ARRL 160 CW, then I had to completely cancel my planned operation at K1LT for CQ 160 CW, and now... Just last week, I had to cancel a planned full-time sprint operation in the NA SPRINT CW. Woah, what's happening to me??! I did get on the air in all 3 contests, but not for much more than an hour in any of them. All operating was done from my home station (K0DXC), and I haven't even posted anything to 3830 yet.

That's it for now. The next big thing for me is ARRL DX CW (@ 6Y1V) next weekend!

73,

Cal, K0DXC
