I used to live on south side… Lake and Pueblo Blvd. I was more scared living there than being deployed to Afghanistan. Bad bad neighborhood.

They don’t any more. Even the logging road just out side of town used to have a sign as of 2 years ago which has since been taken down because the company has switched over to commercial band radios…

Sorry to be a bearer of bad news, metal is cheaper than wood right now. Even with the added expense of a quality welder.

Good information… and that was the purpose of suggesting the Kenwood. I got thinking last night, another option to look at would be the new AnyTone AT-D578UVIII Plus. It’s a tri-band DMR mobile radio that does both digital and analogue APRS and the first BlueTooth sync to your car’s audio...

I have 2 Kenwood TK-790’s, an Icom IC-7100 a Yaesu FT-2900 and a Yasue FTDX10…. So to me it’s about the radio that packs the biggest punch per dollar. I suggested the TNC because there is a lot one can do with the TNC, and as an Overlander we are about preparedness…. Other wise we wouldn’t even...

The cost difference between an external TNC combined with the FTM-400XDR compared to the TM-D710GA with the included TNC puts them both at the same cost without having extra gadgets laying around in your rig.

The only problem with the FTM-400XDR is the inability to access the built in TNC for other packet radio uses… other than that it’s an excellent choice. Kenwood (TM-D710GA) also makes a great APRS dual band radio that has access to the TNC… it’s draw backs are price, and monochrome head unit…...

Depending on what tuner is used it is possible to tune a CB fire stick for both 10m and 12m and might even tune in 6m as well (never tried 6).

Here in Eastern Oregon, we used to the fire bans coming in the summer…. It’s part of life… BUT… that hasn’t stopped most of us from using a camp fire to cook over… even in the worst drought conditions, there are commercial products available that can be used (with caution, and strict...

Just got here me from making 783 contacts in 24 hours. Phone really died this year after midnight Pacific time… although I made more contacts between 7:30 am and 11:00 am Pacific than any other 4.5 hour run the whole trip. I too was running an 80m EFHW antenna… although I made the Shortend...

I arrived to our Field Day sight last night. Setting up the network today and working on a few antenna projects. No rain in the forecast for us, just a lot of heat… supposed to be in the 100’s the rest of the week.

I love my Lincoln MP140 pro. It’s a 110 volt 140 amp welder that does MIG, TIG, and ARC. It also has an aluminum spool gun attachment To weld aluminum… and it’s a very easy to use welder for someone without any experience… I had very little knowledge about welding before hand, and with a...

The Gazelle T4 sets up fast (under 90 seconds) has enough room for 4 cots without much gear, or 3 cots with gear. I have the Gazelle T4 Plus and is the best tent I have ever owned, including my canvas guide tents, military tents, and other tents.

I have found the ARRL website to be lacking with information on testing times and locations… My club tests whenever we have a person ready to test. Our sister club tests every Wednesday and Saturday. While the ARRL doesn’t list either as holding a test in over 4 years… and yes both clubs are...

Time to get yourself a welder buddy.
