    HAM Radio Call Sign Check-In Thread

    Works for me. Maybe we should move this to it's own thread.

    HAM Radio Call Sign Check-In Thread

    [emoji4] Your in Louisiana? I've not run a lot of ham nets but have done a couple and do manage real time communications kind of like a net. Part of the trick is to come up with a script and a guide line of rules for the net. Maybe start listening in and/or proticepate in some of them. If...

    HAM Radio Call Sign Check-In Thread

    Some one to organize it is what is lacking. I would but my work schedule is so erratic that it is nearly impossible for me to run a consistent net.

    Totally get the boss issue. General is not that hard especially since you don't need to do the CW anymore. (Opened up for me. [emoji6] ). Could also hook another ham who has HF. Maybe time the nets so that they lend themselves to local gatherings. Good excuse to do some "Mountain Topping"...

    HAM Radio Call Sign Check-In Thread

    I think the argument for doing HF is to hon those skills and it would be accessible to anyone who is out on an expedition where they do not have access to the internet. Think of something like the merit time nets. It would also double as a safety net where some can call out for help if they are...

    There has been talk of one in this thread but I don't think anyone has organized anything yet.

    How much modifications did you need to do?

    "Every Kid in a Park", Do you have a 4th grader?

    How unfair. My 1st grader is being discriminated against! [emoji12] Thanks for the heads up on the program. Hope it is still around for a couple more years. Until then we'll keep going out and seeing America's Treasures while they are still there for us to enjoy.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Oh! And I put a light bar on my Xterra. Now I need to go do a night run in the desert.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Cleaned the attic. I pulled the air-dam off my Xterra to install a light bar. Din not expect to find this. 11 years of dust, dirt and leaves from dusty traveling across 7 Western States. [emoji6] [emoji106]

    Ham Radio - HF/VHF/UHF

    I've had two of those on my rig. They are great antennas. Very forgiving if you don't have a good ground plain. The folding design is very handy for parking garages. Had to give up on them though. For me they are two stiff which makes them easy to break. If you are not doing a bunch of bush...

    Hello from Guam!

    Welcome to the community. Make sure you post some pictures of that sweet looking Xterra on the Xterra registry. Is it gas or diesel?

    The Can

    So moving forward. Keep in mind this is going to be a budget build. So far I have just the cost of changing the title in the project. I have picked up some trailer tiers designed for agricultural use type applications. Not a sexy as my truck tiers but I got three of them on steel rims for...

    Rocky Mountain National Park Trip

    Man I spent a lot of time up there as a young boy. I don't have any Camp spots I can give you but shure wood like to see some photos of your trip when you were done. Beautiful country up there.

    HAM Radio Call Sign Check-In Thread

    There has been talk about it. I think it would just take a person or two to be able to commit some time to being the Net control to get it going. Maybe be easier to start out with an on air event or two like a weekend round up or "contest". Sent from my XT1650 using OB Talk mobile app

    The Can

    I do want to keep some of the original soul of the trailer but back to original is not going to leave me with something useful. Those small tires are a deal breaker. This is going to to be a budget build. I need to get it at least useful or it will just be in the way and I'll have to get rid...

    The Can

    So a friend of mine has given me what is left of his 1960ish Apache Tent Trailer. It has been handed down to him and was originally his Grandfathers. My buddy brought it to Arizona from Wisconson and used it for a couple of years. Then the canvas got mildewed. Unfortnentyl he threw out...
