I just thought this would be a good thing to bring up for today. https://nationaldaycalendar.com/national-radio-day-august-20/ -- 73 W9TIG Gary Vaught

I'm in agreement with Ernest. The trailer is an asset to the club but is highly under-utilized and housing/maintenance is a challenge for the club. - Best Regards, Gary D Vaught We can engineer a solu

I'd love to come to this sale, but K0PHP is a task master and I'll have to be south of town. I'm sure there won't be any issues in getting the stuff into the hands of good hams. - Best Regards, Gary D

If I can't maintain the 1 wavelength, do I mask LSB? - Best Regards, Gary D Vaught We can engineer a solution to nearly any problem you can accurately define. - somewhat anonymous

Thanks for all of the answers! I'm currently sitting on my AnyTone D868-UV, my Yaesu FT-60, and a BaoFeng BF-F8HP. All are dual-band, as most HTs are these days. The AnyTone and the BaoFeng are both d

Thanks, Ralph! I feel a bit more comfortable about having more than I can operate at any one time... I doubt that I'll get more anytime soon, but at least I can get these setup to cover my immediate n

I agree with Bill, HyVee has been good to us in the past. I enjoyed my time at last year's event, but it was a bit less than ideal with them (OG) being unprepared to deal with us. Then we were all spl

Hey folks, I'm just curious how many HTs most of us are "running"? I got all of my chargers stationed near my office area and now I've got 3 fully charged (or charging) HTs. Is this normal in our grou

I guess I missed something. What was the issue with the service the last few years? - 73, Gary D Vaught

Bill, I've had the same issue for the past 6 weeks, I have to check the calendar daily to find out which day of the week it is and what I'm doing that day. - 73 Gary D Vaught

Just to clarify, the club meeting THIS Tuesday is BCARES, CMRA will have their meeting next week. I'm looking forward to hearing what comes from the meeting. - Best Regards, Gary D Vaught We can engin

No offense taken. I simply misunderstood your use of the gloves. I have just seen too many reports of folks who are taking ancillary measures rather than the primary recommendations which have been co

Gloves should be to prevent cross contamination. If you wear your gloves to pump gas and touch an infected gas pump nozzle, then wear those same gloves to WalMart, you've just become a transmission ve

I agree with you, Cody, it's very frustrating to have money invested in a radio that you can't figure out. The upside is that there are generally people who are willing to help you out. The downside i

James, Sadly, that was my experience and the experience of those I've spoken with. Your best bet is to keep checking the FCC database every day. That's how I got my notification. - Best Regards, Gary

Thanks for clarifying, Hank. That was what I was trying to say, but probably just botched it all up. - 73 Gary D Vaught We can engineer a solution to nearly any problem you can accurately define. - so

Wow, Chris. You just like poking the bear, don't you? My understanding is that SOME of the Baofeng models do not PREVENT you from transmitting in certain, prohibited frequencies. In other words, they

Tim, Do you have links to official documentation of this that you can provide? If this is true and verifiable, it is VERY good news, but with all of the misinformation (wherever that comes from) out t

I know this isn't a new topic of discussion, but I think it needs to be brought back up. What can we do to encourage the newly licensed hams to join the club? What ARE we doing to encourage the newly

I'd suggest asking around the guys in the club/group. A lot of the guys who have been doing this for a couple of years (or decades) have HTs and mobiles that they might let go for under a couple hundr
