Have been slowly working on this but have gotten side tracked trying to keep the Jeep running. I have a ham radio camping trip coming up this coming weekend so I went ahead and threw it in the Jeep. It's hard to find room for 3 radios in most SUVs so I came up with this "box" of sorts. Still...

If you are new to amateur radio or just haven't been too involved Field Day is an annual event where ham radio operators set up offgrid stations and temporary antennas and operate for 24 hours trying to make as many contacts as possible. It is a wide spread disaster scenario and a contest in...

Most discussions about APRS revolve around tracking yourself and/or your vehicle, but it is much more than that.

Anyone set up radios while at camp? If, so what are you running? Pics? I run a Kenwood TS-480sat in my Jeep so I have some 25' extension cables for the remote head and mic. If we have shore power I will pull the radio and run it off a power supply. For an antenna I have 20m/40m dipoles that...

For those new to Amateur Radio, Field Day is the largest ham radio event in North America. Clubs/Groups set up temporary stations and portable antennas and operate off back up power(battery/generator) to simulate a wide spread disaster. The event runs for 24 hours and each group tries to make as...

I have run APRS for awhile and have used it for tracking and sending messages to other APRS users and sending packets through the International Space Station, and while I have known that APRS was capable of sending SMS text and emails I had not looked into it until recently. If this has been...

This last weekend I went camping with some Jeep friends down in Sulphur Oklahoma, just a relaxing weekend away...no extreme remote adventure... just to get away from life for a few days. We are all hams and brought our HF radios and portable antennas to set up and test out. On the way down...
