Has it really been a year since I last posted here?

You may have noticed that the domain has changed – from antennablog.com to antennablog.net. Due to the bungling of a domain name registrar I lost the earlier name, which someone grabbed and has had it parked ever since hoping I might be willing to buy it back. Fat chance! I have had to settle for this one.

Rebuilding the blog with a new version of WordPress on the new domain should have been simple enough, until I discovered that my old database backup was faulty. I had to resort to an earier one which only had one post in it. Fortunately, I had saved the webpage at some point, so I was able to copy and paste the material into new posts and backdate them to the original dates. The image editing capabilities of this version 2.6.3 of WordPress are so much improved over the old one (version 2.1) I was using this was not as difficult as I expected.

Now comes the task of finding all of the links to this blog in all of my other blogs, posts and websites and pointing them to the new domain. Not to mention all of the web directories and lists that reference it. If you have a link to this blog anywhere, or a bookmark, you might like to change it.

In that same period I have obtained a new amateur radio callsign. I’m no longer VK3ZDD, but am VK3HL.

Watch for some new posts on antenna theory, design, construction and testing.

I have moved this Speak in Tongues blog from Blogger to WordPress to allow for extra features and better control of its future.

All of the posts are there (here), but the URL of the blog has changed to www.speak-in-tongues.com/wordpress/.

If you have put this blog into your favourites or have linked it from a website, would you please change the link to this new address.

I will leave the old Blogger blog up for a while, but all new posts will be on the new one.

I have installed an interesting application – BlogJet. It’s a cool Windows client for my blog tool (as well as for other tools). Get your copy here: http://blogjet.com.

It allows you to edit posts for your blogs while you are offline and publish them later.

Welcome to antennablog.

In this blog we plan to investigate radio antennas; in particular, antennas for amateur radio. We will examine how they work, design them, simulate their performance, construct them, and then test them in actual operation.

We trust you will enjoy this blog, and find something of interest and usefulness. If so, please provide feedback and discussion through a comment.

Hi, I’m Malcolm Dow, and in this website I plan to document the more interesting parts of my life. Of course, it is all interesting to me, however I well remember the interminable slide shows and photo albums full of people who I never met that I have been subjected to by others, and I will try not to bore you in this way.

If you want a quick summary of my life you can find it here.
