A year of being self employed
Where has time gone? I meant to write this article in December as it marked a year of me being self employed this time around. Anyone that has browsed my past articles will see that I've gone back and forth on being happy working for a company. Will this time being self employed be different? Will I be successful and happy?

Picking a HAM radio
Now that I've decided to go further with HAM radio, I have to pick a radio. My BaoFeng BF-F8HP
is usable, but hard to program and not the best radio. I've decided that I want to get a handheld (VHF/UHF) radio as well as a base station radio that does HF/VHF/UHF. The base station radios that do HF/VHF/UHF have been referred to as "shack in the box" and don't perform as well as standalone HF and VHF/UHF radios, but for starting out I'm fine with the limitations.

IPv6 on USG
Recently Ubiquiti released version 5.7.20 of its controller software. One of the features it added was GUI control of IPv6 for the UniFi Security Gateway
. IPv6 was already available if you were willing to muck with a JSON file and configure it; I already had it setup, but my goal is to keep removing my custom configurations and use the GUI for setup. This will give me a better view of the configuration.
