I’m actually updating the website more than my blog. I put in a new features section (flash takes some work). Also added an article on the new antenna setup that I installed for the RTP Railfan radio installation. I can not hear down to Sanford, NC and downtown Raleigh quite well. [...]

Updating www.rtprailfan.com site
Well, its been quite a while since I’ve posted anything. Actually I wasn’t doing much railfan stuff over the summer. I usually turn the scanner stream off because of the computer in the attic and just doing other things. Recently I turned the stream back on. Right now I have this [...]
