Ed's Soup
Ed's doing it all at Import Communications... handhelds, mobiles, an HF QRP rig, accessories, soup, etc. Wait a second. Soup? Sure enough.

Marathon
I'll be running 26.2 miles on Sunday with about 7,000 runners who are doing the Knoxville Marathon, Half, or 5k. My personal goals are:
3:50 - Gold
4:00 - Silver
4:07 - Bronze
Even my "bronze" time puts me at a minute per mile faster than my first marathon. That's a lot faster, but to put this in perspective, I would need to finish in 3:15 to qualify for the Boston Marathon.

Nagoya NA-701 and NA-771 Antenna Changes
BuyTwoWayRadios.com points out some changes to the new versions of the NA-701 and NA-771 antennas. This might be a useful link if you are worried about fakes and want to compare old and new. Also, they mention the change addresses the cosmetic gap problem.

The Real Yellow Multimeters
As a follow-up to my yellow multimeter post, Fluke is donating $30K worth of their multimeters to Sparkfun to replace the ones stopped in customs. Talk about turning bad PR into something good. Well played.

Baofeng Comparison Chart
I can't recall if I've seen this before, but a pointer in the comments has it back to the top. The image is from the BaofengTech website.
Chromebook Deal
Lifehacker says this $149.99 (free ship) re-furb Acer C720 is a steal of a deal if you are in the market for a Chromebook. Obviously being a Chromebook, it would push me toward Google Drive.
