If you don't have one, I highly recommend you make one. It gives you something to aspire to. You don't have to put a lot of thought into it, and you are more than free to change it as time goes by. It is, after all, YOUR list and no one else's. As for mine, it will be interesting to see how long it takes me to complete it all, mainly because I am such a procrastinator. So without further ado:
OH, for those of you who do not know what bucket list is, Websters dictionary defines a bucket list as "a list of things that one has not done before but wants to do before dying. Origin from the phrase 'Kick the Bucket (to die)"
1.
2. Learn Morse Code
3. Go on a DXpedition or at least operate from another country.
4. Make a QRP QSO
5. Build a kit radio or a radio from scratch
6. Build my own antenna
7. Go to a hamfest
8. Go to the Dayton Hamvention
9. Operate the W6RO station (Ham Radio station aboard the Queen Mary ocean liner)
10. Operate W1AW.
11. Earn an award for something.
This list is certainly subject to change and there are a few things I am already working on. For instance, I am in the beginning phases of learning morse code and have contacted W6RO about operating their rig when I am out in California. I can probably combine other things on the list into one big project. (e.g. build a QRP rig and antenna, then make a QSO with it, taking care of #3, #4 an #5 all at once. I'll have to mull that one over. I am sure this list will grow quite a bit as time goes by but for now it will suffice.
