    Midland micromobile GMRS radios-is the 40 watt version worth it?

    I disagree that there shouldn’t be testing involved for amateur radio. As for time to study... 1 hour a day for 5 days isn’t that hard to do... if a guy like me can get his General than any one can... upgrading to extra is a little harder and a lot more time involved in studying. If you had...

    Midland micromobile GMRS radios-is the 40 watt version worth it?

    If you’re not going to go ham, the 40 watt version might have a better chance of hitting those repeaters over the 15 watt version. Remember that most GMRS repeaters are private, and out here in the Northwest public repeaters are scarce. Just check the repeater networks where you will be...

    National forest service annual pass

    No... your VA card is not an access pass..you must have the proper documents to either take into a National Park (and hope due to Covid 19 they issue you the card) or go to America the Beautiful - National Parks & Federal Recreational Lands Passes | USGS Store and get your pass.

    Parks On the Air (POTA)

    Also if this is the case, since Wallowa Lake State Park, Cathrine Creek State Park. Nez Pierce Trail national monument, Minum State Park, and Emigrant Springs State Park are all inside the WWNFS boundaries... how come are they listed separately? Again I revert back to what the Director for the...

    Parks On the Air (POTA)

    So that point is also very specific... so... if I can activate a NF. Does that mean I can get a POTA for walking out my back door? According to Gaia Wallowa-Whitman owns all the land between Pendleton, Oregon and Idaho.
