If I am correct, you will need to locate a local repeater that is EchoLink capable. You would then check its status and use the keypad to put in the link number in the first post.

Here is a pix I lifted from the creepersjeepers.com jeep club website. They are a great bunch of folks with a well deserved reputation. If you are ever in their area, check them out. At least visit their website. This pix appears to be on the road out of Silverton, but not yet to the real...

Here is a link to the Forrest Service page showing supposedly up to date road status. https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/sanjuan/maps-pubs/?cid=fsbdev3_002300

For those who want to keep up to date, check out www.bushducks.com. It has input from actual travelers and people in the know. It also provides direct phone numbers to the relevant agencies that should know further. No doubt they will get plenty tired of answering their phones this spring and...

I hate to break the bad news but the snowpack this year is record breaking. On over the whole state of Colorado, we are at 193% of average and the San Juan's (southwest Colorado) are at 302%. Current reports are that the road from Silverton to Animus Forks (part of the Alpine Loop) may not...

Got my new vanity call sign WØNUT

I've carried an Old Timer like that every day for almost 50 years. It is getting pretty worn and the blades are very stained.

It is still showing pending on the FCC site search. What do you mean red-lighted? I just wanted to order some stuff with the new call sign on it and was hoping to get it on the way.

How long did it take the FCC to grant yours from the time you filled out the application? I did mine two weeks ago.

I LOVE THIS THREAD. You guys laugh about knowing about this place, but I haven't stayed married 44 years without learning a few survival tips. I married a city girl. She begrudgingly accompanies me on my wanderings. I have to make sure to have regularly scheduled pampering, feeding, and...

If you go through Ouray, stop at the local Chocolatier down town. They have great coffee in the morning. Pick up a couple of their scrap cookies. They are loaded with the chocolate leavings from the previous day and are around a half pound. That should placate the female gender. There is...

I'm surprised it didn't last indefinitely if you were recharging while driving.

In order to size a setup, you first have to know what you are going to run and how much power it needs. From there you figure out what the maximum amount of time you will be using it each day. For instance, a powerful laptop might pull 120 watts. Skipping the formulas, 120 watts @ 12 volts...

Planning a SA trip next year. Sorry to say it will be a variation of the PANAM. We hope to drop our rigs into Sao Palo, and head west over the Andes, then head south as far as you can go, then turn around and head north as far as you can go. The plan is for about 9 months if all works out...

Do you have your license yet? If so, you can post up your call sign in your banner on the left. Don't forget to join us on the Overland Bound Amateur Radio Net every Friday evening. As far as antennas, centered in the roof yields the best performance.

I run a Webasto type diesel heater like used on large diesel trucks.

I figured if I had the questions, probably others would as well.

So given: Where : Echolink Node 591550 (USA-GNG) known also as Grits N Gravy, DMR TG 1137550 and Allstar 41130 (from the thread about the OB NET) I would simply press the PTT button and key in 06591550 to see if the node was up and running, and if so then just 591550 to join? And when I want to...
