Welcome to Handiham World!

June is here, and that means Field Day planning

As you know, we have been at Handiham radio camp last week, and because the camp session ended just as the long Memorial Day holiday weekend began, today is our first day back for routine office duties. We hope you had a pleasant and thoughtful Memorial Day weekend and were able to set some time aside to remember those who have gone before us, serving to protect our freedom.

The Handiham website uses the open-source content management system Drupal. It produces an excellent W3C-compliant result, making for a good user experience for anyone, including our blind users who access the content with text-based browsers like Lynx.

Until lately, that is.

The Handiham Remote Base station W0EQO has returned to service. Our thanks to Bill, N0CIC, Lyle, K0LR, and Tom KB0FWQ, for their help in resolving the problem.

The station had been off the air for over 10 days, thanks to a thunderstorm that interrupted the power and internet service to the station's router and computer. You have no doubt heard of "Murphy's Law" - well, things happened at just exactly the wrong time, when all of us were busy with Radio Camp four hours drive to the south. The station is located at Courage North, while we are at Camp Courage far to the south.

Dear Family & Friends,

Here I am at Handiham Radio Camp, and I've been having a great time. It's hard to believe that we are already leaving camp tomorrow morning. The week has gone by so fast!
