Re: The Wait is On

Well, it wasn't in the mailbox this afternoon. Maybe tomorrow.

Re: The Wait is On

Yeah, if anyone needs a chair, mine is open.

Well, it's time to start packing up. Good luck to the rest of you.

Re: The Wait is On

It's about time.
SOLAR CYCLE 24 BEGINS: Solar physicists have been waiting for the appearance of a reversed-polarity sunspot to signal the start of the next solar cycle. The wait is over. Yesterday, a magnetically reversed sunspot emerged at solar latitude 30 N....
For reasons explained in a recent Science@NASA story, this marks the beginning of Solar Cycle 24 and the first step toward a new solar maximum. Intense solar activity won't begin right away. Solar cycles usually take a few years to build from solar minimum (where we are now) to Solar Max (expected in 2011 or 2012). It's a slow journey, but we're on our way!

Re: The Wait is On

Hey, I don't mind. Talking about different hobbies helps pass the time while we wait. This isn't like some doctors office waiting room where you are expected to sit quietly and read a magazine.

Re: The Wait is On

I'm happy to report that my PIN arrived today. Checking online was a little bit anti-climactic, but it shows "Processing Application"

Re: The Wait is On

I'm one month out from my packet reaching Austin. I hope to see my PIN in a few days. Regardless, it isn't going to get my license here any faster. I'd just like to know so I have something else to look forward to.

I plan to buy myself a nice new present to celebrate, but I'm having a hard time waiting for the license to arrive.

The check cleared the bank today, so I know they are at least working on it.

DX has been pretty non-existant lately. I've been tinkering with psk31 lately, and the last time I had the radio on (Tuesday night) I couldn't see or hear anything worthy of note.

I'm working on getting a beam in the air, but for now, I have an Alpha Delta DXCC multi-band dipole that I can use on 160-6 meters.

Well, I've decided that stressing about it isn't going to get it here any faster. I'm just going to pass the time by researching different guns, and trying to decide what I want to carry.

I haven't really been able to shoot much. There are a couple of indoor ranges in the area. I'm planning a couple of days in the next month or so to go and rent some guns, and try to find some that I can feel comfortable shooting.

When my 'plastic' finally arrives, I will go and reward all of my field research with a nice new handgun to go along with it.

I'm not sure about anyone else. I've just been using the tracking information that I got when I mailed my packet (certified). Beyond that, I'm not sure.

Maybe this is an indication of things to come. It was "Delivered" at 9:35 am.
