Hello, I’m Geoff Emery, VK4ZPP, and I’ve been thinking.

A lot of us will have been experiencing the cold weather that has certainly
convinced the body that Winter has come. It occurred to me that we don't
live in the
idyllic winter wonderland of seasonal postcards that mark the Christmas
break in the
northern hemisphere. Although I once lived in a place that did have snow,
we also
had the luxury of indoor fireplaces that wafted the scent of burning
through the
house and did little to warm the bed clothes.

After many years of living back along the sub-tropical coastal regions, I
feel the
cold as much as any native. As I don’t have a shack with the convenience
of comfort
and heating, I have been content, although somewhat frigid regardless of
the amount
of clothes I have on, to try and learn how to use a 2 in one type
computer. Some may
remember that I previously spoke of the issues of preparing a similar
device for
portable use and now I have another from a different manufacturer.

Getting the familiarity with the unit has filled some time that could hqve
been
devoted to other tasks if the weather had been kinder. It seems that this
fully
blown tablet cum laptop will do the things I need.

Anyway this has been a long preamble to wondering if others have sideline
projects
that they can take on when alternatives are needed. Many interests require
that we
perform maintenance on our equipment but the demands on the radio amateur,
in this
regard, are relatively light. It is wise to power up our electronics to keep
moisture at bay and reduce the chances of electrolytics deteriorating.
Then there
are the general upkeep tasks, such as computer updates, that help keep our
whole
operating system running smoothly.

For each of us there are items that require attention and being able to
use the time
that is available for the best outcomes is important. I don’t have a planned
schedule just the knowledge that certain tasks need completing to get certain
outcomes. Fortunately I no longer have the tyranny a regular work pattern
to meet so
time can be pretty flexible and jobs done when convenient.

With our club activities, it is probably best that we do plan these sorts of
activities so that there is a checklist to help who ever needs to fill a
job in
knowing what and how it is done as well as when. In our clubs we need to
allow for
the things that happen with people, births and weddings, holidays and
sickness can
all take people away and others will fill in to see the jobs are done. So
a suitable
record system that is available to members guides people through the
planned care
program without causing stress and a last minute rush. This is also a good
way of
involving people and letting them feel the success of good organisation.
It is what
I would call succession planning.
I’m Geoff Emery VK4ZPP and that’s what I think….how about you?
