Crockpot Scalloped Potatoes


Here is the first recipe that I am going to try:



6-8 large potatoes, peeled

1/2 onion, chopped

1/2 green pepper

1 garlic clove (I used garlic powder)

3 c. milk

1 tbs. dijon mustard

4-5 tbs. flour (adjust accordingly)

salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste

shredded cheese (optional)



Melt the butter, slowly add the flour, then blend in the rest of the items.



I peeled my potatoes and then ran them thru the food processor to slice them up.



I then layered the potatoes, sauce, and cheese a couple of times. Then topped it with
shredded cheese.



I stated the recipe from the link:

I then added some items on my own. It is cooking right now. I should know more in
4-5 hours.

2008 August UHF Contest


A couple of days ago I got an interesting envelope.






In side of it was this certificate. It indicates that I had won the 222 & 432
bands as Single Operator Low Power for the Dakota Division.



I am not exactly sure how this worked out but it is kind of neat.



At some point I will need to get a frame for this and put it up on the shack wall.
I also have an award from one of the recent Minnesota QSO parties where Ben and I
won first place in one of the categories. I think that it was for Meeker County which
is not a huge category but it is neat because it was my son's Ben's first radio contest.



Once the new office/shack is completed & painted it appears that I have a couple
of things for the wall.  :-)

New QSL cards for NG0R


I had a package show up 2 weeks ago before we went camping. How cool is this... a
package from Bulgaria.






Here is my new QSL card. It is not super flashy but that was not exactly the point
of this series of cards.






This design represents a simple card that I can use for general contacts. I am a couple
of years behind in my QSL card exchange so I wanted a basic card on a fairly short
timeline. At some point in the future I will probably print up a nice full color card
showing the shack and/or antenna stack on the towers. (I do have a picture of the
house & towers with a rainbow in the background.)
