N1GY- The simple Approach to Ham Radio

and My Model Railroad Hobby

​

UPDATES from the Radio Room 15

       It has been too long since I updated this site, and I do apologize profusely. Since I last updated the site I have added another hobby, that of Photography. I am getting too old and infirm to spend a lot of time and effort on model railroading, although I still enjoy belonging to my club, The Sarasota Bay Model Railroad Society. I currently operate the Facebook page for the group and plan to continue in that role for as long as I am able. Similarly, my participation in Amateur Radio has likewise tapered down. I still have a complement of radios in my office and my car but since I do not like driving at night, I no longer attend most meetings of the club, although I am still a member and when I can, I still provide material to the club newsletter. 

       Likewise, I do not provide new projects to my website, in part because I have trouble wielding a soldering iron these days, I am 82 years of age, after all. The projects that are on the website are still pertinent to the hobby and useful to those members of the fraternity who are still able to build and use such projects. Likewise, my model railroad layout and my collections of various locomotives and rolling stock still exist and I take much pleasure in them. One of the reasons I decided on Photography as a hobby was so that I could improve my skills in Photographing my layout and others. I also enjoy photographing aircraft of all types and classic cars both racing and street machines. I have even modified a basket for my mobility scooter so that it can carry my camera gear. I promise, as soon as my skill set is up to par with a camera, the images will be posted here and occasionally on Facebook.
