  • 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.

    Nice! Can't wait to see the custom bumper. Who's doing the fabrication for you?

    Haha, I was actually talking about the TOM one but either one is a winner! :laughing:

    That just means they've completed the first step – ensuring there's no reason you can't be issued the call sign(s) you've requested. And since it was completed (according to your status page), you should be good to go. You can see what I'm talking about in the History section...

    I hope you get the first one your request list – that'd be a cool vanity call sign! :grinning:

    The redlight review on my callsign was actually completed the very next day. I'm sure if you view your application status, yours probably was too. All of the rest of that time is the FCC just waiting to see if anyone else submits a request for that same callsign – to provide a generous window...

    I submitted the request online on April 25th and it just got granted today. So it was exactly what the FCC claimed for issuance – 18-20 days.

    FYI, as of today, I finally got my vanity call sign issued from the FCC, so I'll no longer be KN4UBI. :smile: As the driver of a Subaru Forester, I'm now the proud owner of: W4FOZ

    This is a great build. Have you had any fitment/rubbing issues with the 235/75R15s?

    Having the check-ins as a it's own section in the notes, separate from the details for each person, is great. Good idea!

    That is perfect. Adding to my cart right now. :blush:

    The T4 is 94"x94". Using that 82"x82" tarp will mean the tent extends beyond the tarp by 6" on all sides, which is perfect. A few inches of overhang (the tent being slightly bigger than the footprint) is exactly what you want, for the reasons already mentioned by some other folks.

    EchoLink for Dummies Questions/Answers

    I was in the same boat. In fact, I actually brought it up as a topic on last week's net. With help from @Brentc17 and getting in touch with the guy who set up the Echolink node on our local repeater, I was finally able to get connected from my mobile. That being said, here's the steps (as I...

    Ham radio????

    Would definitely agree that, regardless of your preparation method, you've gotta just get your hands dirty until you reach that "aha" moment. Try something out, realize it was done incorrectly, make adjustments, try again – wash, rinse, repeat.

    Ham radio????

    I have the Yaesu FTM-400XDR and love it. So far I'm just scratching the surface of what it's capable of. For instance, I haven't begun exploring APRS or WIRES-X (WIRES-X will be my next venture). But the controller head is very compact, which is nice, the screen is full color, and navigating...

    Nice! Did you end up going with the 245/65R17s? If so, any fitment issues or rubbing?
