Stuff I came up with, 1)maybe negotiate if they deny a dealer like HRO to pay the tolls here or a night at a hotel. The old saying you have to lose money to...
I like the idea of including other hobbies in a limited way. I saw a RC aircraft and guitars. Unfortunately there were CB radios there too that were out of...
I would love to do a SES sometime. There are a TON of things we could do. Kipona is the first one that comes to mind. Maybe get Mayor Reed to spring for the...
... I think those are excellent topics for meetings if we can find a way to properly demonstrate them. I know what APRS is and can do, but what about Winlink...
When we get good at these things we could show them at Kapona at a Special Event Station ... From: hrac@yahoogroups.com [mailto:hrac@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf...
I've done a little bit with Winlink. There is a packet gateway into the system on 145.030. I sent an email from there to my Yahoo account just to see if it...

The question is much too broad. The answer will change for VHF/UHF HT's, VHF/UHF mobiles, and HF fixed stations. I used to like Icom and Kenwood, and thought...
I've posted my APRS "how-to" document to the Files section of the site. The Power Point I used was created by WB4APR so I won't post it, but it is available...
Your demo last night was extremely interesting! Being new to "ham radio", I found it fascinating. Kind of like global positioning meets IM via radio. Good...

Nick, I have a very nice AC Line Voltage meter which I will mount in a box with a line cord and donate for motoring line voltage in the future... 73 de Glenn,...
I'm glad you got something out of it. Its actually pretty neat to set up and see how many stations appear over a number of days, but there just wasn't enough...

I have never had a special event staion. I would think we could use the club call sign for it. I would also think that this year's labor day activities would...
Agree that Labor Day is too soon. I wonder if we could also get a callsign for special events, something with an interesting prefix? That would attract the...
