  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

    Overland Bound Ham Radio Net

    No one says you have to use Q sings. To be honest I think I've heard more of them tried to be used on the local 2m repeaters than on HF. Don't be afraid to as someone to to clarify if they throwing at you. There are a few that are just part of the vernacular. You'll pick them up as you here...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Took the afternoon off and took my Xterra out in the desert so it could turn 150k in a proper way. In the dirt and in 4 wheel drive. May sound sappy bit all 150k are mine as well as the dents and AZ pinstripes.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Really beautiful place. I like how you set up the shade for the Jeep. Doesn't seem to help the lady and the shot much but you have to have priorities right. [emoji6] [emoji106]

    The 2020 Jeep Gladiator is Ready to Rumble

    That does look sexy. [emoji41] [emoji106] Didn't Jeep do this before with the Scrambler? Always thought those look neat but the departure angle was way out there for a Jeep. All to talk of price! I guess I'll be holding on to my Xterra for a while longer. Seems to me the hidden cost to...

    I would suggest that if this is going to be a regular thing and once we dial in the time and location we amend the first post to list that info. This will give an easy reference for everyone to view.

    Overland Bound Ham Radio Net

    Great hearing everyone who made it. I was hoping to log in from an actual radio but it would appear that the linked radios in my area are all restricted these days. As requested here is the 4x4ham.com website asked for. http://www.4x4ham.com/activity.php? There is some good info and good...

    You'll find plenty of grumpy old men in ham radio. Don't let us discourage you.[emoji6] [emoji106]

    Could in a few. Need to dust off the HT and see if I can hit a local repeater.

    Is there a node number for someone dialing in from an actual radio to a linked radio?

    HAM Radio Call Sign Check-In Thread

    [emoji4] Your in Louisiana? I've not run a lot of ham nets but have done a couple and do manage real time communications kind of like a net. Part of the trick is to come up with a script and a guide line of rules for the net. Maybe start listening in and/or proticepate in some of them. If...

    HAM Radio Call Sign Check-In Thread

    Some one to organize it is what is lacking. I would but my work schedule is so erratic that it is nearly impossible for me to run a consistent net.

    HAM Radio Call Sign Check-In Thread

    Totally get the boss issue. General is not that hard especially since you don't need to do the CW anymore. (Opened up for me. [emoji6] ). Could also hook another ham who has HF. Maybe time the nets so that they lend themselves to local gatherings. Good excuse to do some "Mountain Topping"...

    HAM Radio Call Sign Check-In Thread

    I think the argument for doing HF is to hon those skills and it would be accessible to anyone who is out on an expedition where they do not have access to the internet. Think of something like the merit time nets. It would also double as a safety net where some can call out for help if they are...

    There has been talk of one in this thread but I don't think anyone has organized anything yet.

    "Every Kid in a Park", Do you have a 4th grader?

    How unfair. My 1st grader is being discriminated against! [emoji12] Thanks for the heads up on the program. Hope it is still around for a couple more years. Until then we'll keep going out and seeing America's Treasures while they are still there for us to enjoy.
