Jeremiah Oeltjen

New Domain Name

Hoorah!

I just registered the domain oeltjen.us for my web site. I've set a 301 Permanent Redirect for all URLs under the hostname I formerly used (kb0off.sheddwellers.org) to my new one (jeremiah.oeltjen.us). What really suprised me is that it took quite literally MINUTES for my host name to become available on the name servers here at work from the time I registered it.

My new official e-mail will be my first name at oeltjen.us.

Pictures of Radio Installation

As promised, I have uploaded some picures of my 2 meter mobile radio installation.

Finally Operational

I finally got my Icom IC-281H installed in my car this morning. It only took three years. I put the antenna mount in the roof and ran the power lead from the cabin to the engine compartment almost immediately after I got the car. Then I decided that I would require a custom bracket to mount the radio under the dash and that's the way it sat until this morning. I built my custom bracket out of a piece of angle-iron and it turned out to be one of the most beautiful installations that I've done to date. This configuration, of course, is subject to change as I intend on installing my IC-706 and Screwdriver Antenna sometime in the next week if I can acquire the necessary cables and connectors.

I'm finally back on the air with something other than a handheld radio, if only 2-meter FM, and it feels good.

P.S. I will try to take some pictures either tomorrow or the next day.
