    Third try - now a Bison!

    I've wanted new and bigger tires since we got the Bison. I like the Duratracs but admittedly a stock Bison looks like it skipped leg day! These tires now have 36,000 miles on them, so when a really good deal on a set of 285/70r17 Falken Wildpeak M/T tires came up I jumped at it. First task...

    SatCom Experiences

    When I was a wildland firefighter I used an Iridium sat phone a lot. Same as the comment above - call quality is not the greatest but it is better than nothing. Antenna's view of the sky is a big deal and if it works it works well, but if not there's nothing there. I had a car kit with a...

    Ham Radio Operators... Mobile, HT, or Both?

    Both - more range and features with a mobile and it's easy to just hang the mic and not have to go fumbling for a handheld when you need it. But, if I'm hiking or otherwise out of the vehicle, I have a full 5W handheld. I've set up my vehicle's mobile as a cross-band repeater a few times to...

    Third try - now a Bison!

    To eliminate glare off of the hood (from sunlight as well as the roof-mounted lights) we got the hood wrapped with a matte black vinyl that has a topographic map design on it. Really pleased with how it turned out! And it's not just any topo map - I had the graphics shop use the map of a trail...

    US East CQ FIELD DAY! Where ham radio meets overlanding

    We're running the Buena Vista June Jam that weekend JJ4, and more than a few of us are ham guys. We're talking about setting up a station to promote ham radio and maybe try for a few casual contacts. We'll try to find you!

    Anchorage, Alaska

    Gotta check out the Hatcher Pass area. Low on number of trails but high on scenery and history. When I lived there 20 years ago, the best place to find good long trails was on the Kenai Peninsula if I recall correctly.

    If we have a chance, let's do it! I'm trying to learn Winlink, but have only had success with the Telnet connection thus far.

    Cool. I don't currently have a mobile HF capability - it's somewhere on the to-do/to-buy list. But I'm happy to help string up antennas and run power etc.

    CQ CQ CQ - Calling the ham radio folks! It looks like the 2022 ARRL Field Day will be the same weekend as June Jam. Is anyone thinking about bringing an HF rig and setting up a field station for some contacts? If so, let us know! 73 de AA0BF
