I’ve watched a lot of POTA videos and I see guys with really modest equipment/antennas setting up and, shazam, dozens of contacts in an hour or two. Yeah, that’s not happening for me. I’ve tried to activate a couple of parks four or five times and while I’ve made contacts, I’m definitely the...

I am 100% on of those guys that said I was never gonna learn code. I’ve tried the portable code players in the past, used some very basic online tools, and it all went in one ear and out the other. Now that I don’t *need* to pass a code test to get a license, I found myself poking around on...

Believe me, there are folks that get paid a lot of money to figure this stuff out... I'm basically doing it on the back of a napkin (in Excel) and will have to learn a bit once the radio gets here. Here's a handy spreadsheet that I put together to help me with the azimuth and change (+/-) in...

Salty Dog Net - 442.675, 1700 hrs, 100 MHz tone. Thursday evenings.

Well, I’ve been thinking about it and decided to jump on that $500 savings that expires at year end. I pulled the trigger on a 905 last night. Kind of a Christmas present to myself. I just bought the base unit, although I’ll also purchase the 10Ghz unit after the first of the year. Watching...

I bought an AnyTone 878 a few weeks ago, mostly just to play with it and see how I liked it. There’s a lot to like with the idea of using a digital radio to access a multitude of talk groups. An added benefit is the SharkRF Open Spot a bought a few months ago works with the DMR radios - either...
