    Another HAM vs GMRS question

    Quite well. It’s solid for simplex at line of sight. No problem in a convoy. You’re not going to hit distant 2m repeaters, but I have other antennas for that.

    I’ve connected with two that way. My wife served after I did. Email and the beginning of social media was around when she was discharged, so she was able to stay connected with many of her mates. She doesn’t understand why I’ve felt isolated from the camaraderie.

    Bow saw or other for small firewood chores?

    I have a small size Sven saw. It's very compact to store and awesome to use.

    Ham Antenna Mount Question

    I've had that kind of arrangement in the past. If you think about it, you transmit very little compared to listening time. My current rig has three roof mounted antennas, but I'd consider a cowl mount again if I had a roof rack.

    Using Overlanding To Help Veterans

    I went on to university, then house and family, career, etc., etc. It was only after all that was going along that I realized something was missing. I found a veteran's post, and was instantly at home.

    Exactly. I wanted to find the episode again and make a comment. It hit home for me after 25 years.

    Can gmrs and cb share power supply?

    Your antennas are too close together. Transmit on one radio is overloading the receiver front end on the other. Ideally they need to be as fas apart as possible. That's hard in a mobile condition. Try separating the antennas by 3 feet, and see what happens.

    I cant find the episode again where Billy, I think, mentioned the shock once he was dischaged, and the sudden loss of his support system.
