Ten years ago today, I published my first post on this blog. Time flies when you’re having fun—and it certainly has been fun.
I started this blog mostly for selfish reasons. It started off as a personal journal of sorts, a way of documenting my ham radio activities and projects. When I receive a QSL card or Logbook of the World confirmation, I often go back through the posts to see where I was, what equipment I was using, and how I was set up during the contact. I thought others might want to read this stuff, and apparently they do.
Some blog posts have been consistently popular over the years. I could only pull up statistics for the last five years, but the most frequently visited posts over that period were:
- Revisiting the Rybakov 806 Vertical
- The Doublet – Revisiting a Classic Antenna
- A Homebrew Z-Match Transmatch
- Speaker Wire Half-Square Antenna
- U.S. Navy Morse Code Training
I don’t make any money from this blog; there are no sponsors, affiliate links, or the like. It’s just something I have enjoyed doing. So, if you are among the hundreds of visitors each day from around the world, thank you for stopping by.
Here’s to the next ten years!
