A Better Mouse Trap or is that a CW Key?

Well I’m quite familar snap! with the Victor mouse trap after a recent bout of mice invading the garage and building nice little nests in the heater air intakes of not just one but two cars.. little buggers!

But, Ken AC4RD’s use of said device plus a couple Fender guitar picks and a wine bottle cork brings a whole new meaning to home brew! Always thought those wine bottle corks had another great use.

Thanks, Ken!

What is it?

Well lets see… a large open field, complete with shadow of another tower with 2 large beams (and climber down below)  A top-hat loaded 100′ tower for the 160m band that the owner plows in sixty-six 90 foot long radials for maximum performance.

Who else? Of course its the new N1LN 160m band antenna setup.

Suggestions & Ideas for Improving the OCRA Website

Status

The layout of the OCRA website is being revised to better serve the current membership, those newly into amateur radio and potential new members wanting to find out more about the hobby.

Frequently referenced information about OCRA, membership status, repeaters, frequencies, net scripts, club activities have been moved to the sidebar on the left.

This change frees up the main portion of the home page space so that it can be better used for information and annoucements regarding training and other upcoming activies.

Your comments and suggestions for improving the OCRA website are requested!

thanks in advance! Dan, Web Site Administrator
