CQ Test de N1IX - I have CRS!!

I am having a really difficult time remembering various events so I have decided to keep a journal (blog). This became very apparent to me recently when the results of the  ARRL 10 meter contest were posted. I could not find my call among the list of participants., Did I participate? Did I forget to send in my log? I had no idea!!
Sorry, this blog will contain only my ham radio related activities so don't expect to read anything juicy :)

I finished building one of the Nanokeyers today. This one is a birthday gift for one of my ham radio buddies. It is a really cool keyer based on the arduino nano processor. I installed the driver and powered it up via the USB port. It looks good so far. The green power LED lights up. Next step is to set up the arduino environment on my laptop and then compile and upload the code.
