    Ham Radio....This thing on? Radio check? QST?

    I use Chirp to program my baofeng, but thanks for the tip in case I manually have to program a duplex channel.

    Ham Radio....This thing on? Radio check? QST?

    I do hear the kerchunk on a local amateur repeater. Which I guess leads to my frustration. I will double check my +/- offsets again on my frequencies in CHIRP, however, I'm pretty sure they are correct. I was also hoping not to have to join a club to talk on HAM, as time is tight and I...

    Ham Radio....This thing on? Radio check? QST?

    Hey Kevin, Yes, I've tried the repeater channels with the sub-tones. I have tried throughout the day, often right after I hear other conclude their conversations (so as not to disrupt). I haven't tried the CQ as I was under the impression the C codes are a bit outdated. I'm in the Central...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Made my own $20 Jeep JK rear frame rail D rings using harborfreight hitch mount D anchors. They are bolted for now, but will be welded too. I'm really happy with the look, utility and I feel safe actually using them for recovery. DM me if you want details or measurements for drilling the holes...

    Thoughts anyone? Death Valley plan

    I forget the name of the road (it's on NPS Death Valley Mapping) that runs from near the entrance to Ubehebe Crater/Racetrack Road, but it heads North by Crankshaft Junction and then heads back West towards the Eureka Dunes. It is BAD washboard, but not impassable by any means. It will lead you...
