Bunch o’ stuff
11 April 2013 | by There’s a bunch of stuff I wanted to cover today.
The first is totally unrelated to Ham Radio; but I found it fascinating. Today, the Congressional Medal of Honor was awarded posthumously to Fr. Emil Kapaun, a Catholic priest and Army Chaplain who courageously served our country in WWII and the Korean Conflict. He died a POW at the hands of the Chinese in North Korea. The story of how he conducted himself as a POW and as a leader of men is, to use an overused word, awesome (in the truest sense of the word). After finishing reading the eight part story, all I could think of was “Wow!”. Follow this link for the story about the humble, brave and holy man : http://www.kansas.com/kapaun/
Secondly – this comes from the “I ordered me one” department. The Four State QRP Group introduced a new kit today. I immediately ordered one. It’s called the “Force Link” but is spelled 4S-Link. It is an interface between your radio and computer for the digital modes. All you need in one totally complete kit for $40. You can’t beat that with a stick!

I also ordered one of the 4S-Links. I’m looking forward to it. Should be good.
