    Overlanding+Ham=Resurgence?

    I think I ran some kind of APRS on 2 meter, but I do not think it was called APRS - I think it was just called Packet? We used to use it for DX clusters and alerts. It has been so long. I have an old Pak-Rat PK232, it is so old that it has serial ports, LoL. I was big into data. I...

    HAM Radio Call Sign Check-In Thread

    Hello everyone, I received my amateur radio license in 1983. KA8WGH, General Class. I used to really be active with code on HF back in the day, but home owner associations and life just killed the hobby. Before kids, I had several Jeeps, did a lot of 4-wheelin’ ——— and now that kids are...
