3.916 Santa Net 2018 at W1RCP with Ollie and Jo Jo
The kids get a chance to talk with Santa on the 3.916 Santa Net, and you can get a snapshot of what my station looks like. The station changes all the time! Merry Christmas from W1RCP and the kiddos.

Welcome to my new ham radio blog
W1RCP

Many things in life have changed, so now I’m blogging from scratch. If you want to view any of my past adventures, check them out at http://tech-tut.com/ham/.

Hope to hear you on the air!
Robbie, W1RCP
