    First Contact On Ham

    I have a 2meter J-pole made from TV twinlead hanging in the outermost corner of my office downstairs. It radiates well. My roof has radiant barrier decking, so makes a great shield.

    Had a great time in the desert. There were burros with no name. the over hound looked at the rio grande and asked, “that’s it?” saw a rat rod wannabe.

    whats your top 10 pieces of gear?

    I like a 12-14 inch skillet at home. I mostly cook for one while camping so a 10” is perfect for me, except that time I caught a 16” cutthroat a couple of years ago.

    What you said about tires not making it “off road”! Dinoot will also make a frame for you. I was almost ready to pull a trigger on that, when I had a 95# overland hound join the family. No way I can lift her into a rtt. Lol.
