On February 6, 2010 the K5GLH tower came down.  This is the tower that hosted the 443.3 MHz repeater (WIN System).  This was a move that had nothing to do with the Del City Amateur Radio club but rather to help facilitate the sale of my home.  As I have posted before, we are planning [...]

As a resident of Del City it is easy to become excited and also distraught with some of the changes going on.  For those not familiar with Del City, it is a suburb of about 25,000 people completely surrounded by Oklahoma City, Midwest City, and Tinker AFB.  This city use to be about 30,000 before [...]

For those of you in Oklahoma City, you know what a windy day we had yesterday.  The National Weather Service had a graphic on their page that showed Oklahoma City’s peak wind gust was 54 miles per hour (MPH).  The wind was howling all day as fires sprung up around the metro.  We were just [...]

This was such a perfect morning that I decided to take the camera out and take some photos of the beautiful morning.  I stopped at the Ray Trent Park here in Del City, Oklahoma and enjoyed the peaceful quiet behind teh roaring 18 wheeler trucks whizzing by on I-40 right behind me ;-D.  It was [...]

This tree is finally dead after I have cut roots, cut the bark, and poisoned it.  After the terrible ice storm we had back in December we lost power for a week.  These fences were covered by trees all the way around.  I have poisoned them and cut them down over the last few months [...]

My wife and I went to run some errands this afternoon and enjoy the wonderful rains of hurricane Ike when we stopped at a 7-11 store.  We saw many cars lined up on both sides of the road that to me indicated a funeral.  When we went into the store, there was a Del City [...]

If you have driven down I-40 at the Sooner Road exit you may have noticed the area on the South West of the intersection being cleared.  There is a new commercial development being built there that will have several stores, restaurants, and at least one hotel.  This is very good news from Del City as [...]

This week I have been in school half days at work.  They have me taking a class on how to use a program that my office will never use.  My job series uses this program but in my particular office, it will never be used.  I am always open for training at work whether it [...]

In recent days we have begun to hear a steady engine running 24 hours a day.  Occasionally we hear some banging and scraping sounds.  I can hear this noise in my own bedroom at night so it is a good thing that I sleep with a fan for noise.  I am not opposed to drilling [...]

This is Del City, Oklahoma where I grew up.   This is a suburb of Oklahoma City near Tinker AFB.  Ever since I was young, I have been amazed at the number of power line poles in such a small area.  This view is looking North up Sunnylane Road past SE 15th Street.  In the distance [...]
