We had a really great net last night. Thank you everyone who could join in. The conversation centered around mobile communication gear. It would take me all day to transpose all the great conversation, but I’ll summarize some of the highlights. If anyone is interested in the raw notes, I would...

Hello fellow overlanding Hams. I'll be net control this Friday and would like to discuss off-road radio gear. What communication gear do you run when traveling off-road? Do you run APRS? Non-ham gear? If you could install anything, what would it be? I hope you are having a good week and can...

That sounds about right. Hang in there!

I thought the repeater link went well Mark. If it's not a hassle for you I'd encourage continued linking. Sorry to hear about the back, those back roads will get you. Take care!

Good day everyone, I'll be your net control this evening for the weekly Overland Bound amateur radio net. Tonight I'd like to discuss the topic of vehicle security. Do you do anything more than just lock the doors? It came up after my truck was broken into in a parking garage. I'm looking at...

Confess I've never had snake. Nor kangaroo or wallaby jerky. I mentioned all that to my wife, who loves the mayonnaise and tomato sandwich but wasn't buying into the banana addition. Lost her at the snake diet as well. What a great net!
