    Colorado Tear Drop vs Overkill Campers

    Sigh. I'd love the 510 Slide Out....but I'm getting to the point in my life that I'm done with "chronic projects," especially on things that are supposed to be fun.

    Whoa FCC ? Can't finish

    . I will second the sentiment above. The learning process is also helpful to understanding the science behind radio. It's not all just turning on and listening, not even close. We all are willing to learn vehicle recovery, first aid, survival skills, etc.....why is studying for a test to be FCC...

    Whoa FCC ? Can't finish

    Well everything the FCC issues is associated with an FRN.... so we pretty much have to play the game their way. If you want to download "official" copies, versus "reference" copies, then that's how you access them: via FRN. If there's another way, I'm not privy to it. Others may have gone in...

    Whoa FCC ? Can't finish

    Ya, the FCC's website is the absolute worst thing to ever exist on the internet. You should be able to look up everything issued to you by your FRN. It's a complete pain in the prostate, but it is possible... don't quit.

    Parks On The Air

    Very packable….and very tough. DX Engineering is where this one came from.

    Parks On The Air

    Here’s my SOTA beam…it collapses down to 22” or so and extends to 23 feet. Here it’s guyed, but it doesnt have to be: you can hook your typical, resonant EFHW (amazing antenna, SWR is 1:1 across 40m and 20m) to the end and lean it up on a tree…make your 10 QSOs and get down the road to your next...

    Jeep Owners Represent!

    Bought this in '90....my first brand new anything, really. I have been a Jeep guy forever now, beginning in teenage years. I desperately was saving my grocery bagging dollars for a local CJ-7, but my dad knew better. A few years later and well into my tenure with the US Navy, I bought this YJ...

    Skottle First Cook - Issue

    I routinely sear/saute stuff, can broil, low-temp cook and even bake biscuits and desserts (cobblers) in my single 15 qt. Dutch oven. Best piece of camp kitchen gear out there. Set it in roaring flames or use it on a Coleman stove....it always works. And it was $40. Then nested inside of that...

    Colorado Tear Drop vs Overkill Campers

    It's still only August 6, 2021.... aren't you still in your delivery window? Still, I agree: terrible customer service. I'd like to see them get you taken care of. I was considering the SO5.10, but these reviews of their lousy response have really tossed water on that fire. Best of luck...

    Too Much Information will destroy what we do.
