HAM Radio Call Sign Check-In Thread

[MTN RNR]

WD6TED - Ted in San Diego. I don't think I've checked in to this thread.
I received my general in December '18
Here's the equipment I'm currently using:
Icom 5100A in my vehicle.
Icom 7100 at home and take it out with a 12v battery
Icom 51A Plus 2
TYT MD-UV390 for DMR (my DMR ID is: 3121869) I use this for logging into the weekly OB net on talkgroup 1137550
TYT TH-350 tri-band
Openspot2 hot spot I use at home and take on the road with me sometimes. I use this frequently for DMR and D-Star.

I use an Elk VHF/UHF log periodic antenna which is awesome - particularly for QRP stuff.
I use a Super Antenna for HF. I do not have any base station antenna at home currently. I prefer being outdoors ;-)

When I'm home for digital comms I'm usually on D-Star REF012A which ties into the local repeater system which I belong to (PAPA System).

Happy New Year to everyone!

@RyanC it was pretty lively tonight for the solar topic. We’ll be revisiting it for sure.

We had 21 check ins tonight John. Sorry you missed most of it but glad you checked in. Seem to be picking up steam as the word gets out. Very cool to have the VA repeater connection as well.

How are you liking the FTM-400DXR? I'm looking at that same radio. Did you do the install yourself or is there a shop you used in Sacramento?

 

[AZBubs]

I’m such a green horn with all this stuff but after reading about echolink I went ahead and registered. I look forward to listening in on such a vast knowledge base. [emoji106]

I love mine, installed it myself! It works great, still figuring out everything it does!
