Things I’m working on and things I should be working on

December 12, 2023 By Dan KB6NU 256 Comments

As usual, I have a lot of projects that I’m working……and a bunch that I should be working on.

Projects that I’m currently working on include:

  1. I’m currently working on a section of the next RSGB operating manual.

    A chapter on POTA for the next edition of the RSGB Radio Amateur Operating Manual. I don’t have to write an entire book on the topic—it’s only going to be a few pages—but sometimes deciding what to include and what to leave out is harder than just writing more.

  2. Ham evangelist. What’s a ham evangelist, you ask? Well, I got a grant from ARDC, my former employer, to take my one-day Tech class on the road, brining amateur radio to places that should have more amateur radio. We’re in the process now of identifying those places.
  3. Raspberry Pi Pico version of the K3NG Keyer. I’m going to try to make a Raspberry Pi Pico do what the Arduino Nano does and more. Right now, I’m just focusing on learning Python.

Projects that I should be working on or will shortly have to start working  include:

  1. The 2024 edition of the No Nonsense Extra Class License Study Guide. The NCVEC has just published the updated question pool, and I’ll need to get started on that sooner or later.
  2. An outline for a book on microcontroller projects that I’ve been talking to the RSGB about.
  3. Lining up panelists for a forum at Dayton 2024 on different methods for learning Morse Code.
  4. Various projects around the house. There are enough of those to keep me busy for years.

    Python is on my list too but I never seem to get started. Which tool or tools are you using to learn Python?
