Our Alaska Trip was a real blast !
At long last... We have the more of the trip pictures ready...
and a better display engine! Once you've selected a slide, you can step forward or backward from that point, or return here.
We have a new version of PhotoShop which makes getting these pictures online a lot simpler so we're back to having new ones up every few weeks or so, so check back and you can enjoy the trip with us.
They are stacked bottom to top so you can easily see when new ones are up

Although we have only been in the "Ham" business for 20 years we have made many friends across the country and scattered around the world. We started with the VIS Study Cards, a flash card system developed by Carolyn, N5MUU, for a quick and easy way to study theory, and while still publishing the VIS Study Cards, we now publish SAM Amateur Radio Callsign Database and are the largest independent dealer in the USA for NCG/COMET Antennas, Vibroplex keys, and the GLA Systems Texas BugCatcher.
NEW!
We now offer you the convenience of SECURE on-line ordering!
While we do not operate a store as such, we are in our shop (or carrying a portable phone) daily except Sunday from 8:00 to 11:30 a.m. and 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. (except Wednesday when we take the afternoon to go to town) when we are not away at one of the many Hamfests we attend each year. (See list of upcoming shows below. )
