    I just started the HAM license training at work. Not sure if I'd be doing this if it was on my own time but it's cool and geeky. Who here has HAM in their truck and are you a member of any local clubs?

    I got my technician license about two years ago.


    Me too, but not a member of any clubs.

    I suppose if we got more people into it then it could be more useful for us. I was following that TW thread about rescuing the broke down truck in Death Valley and it was cool when one guy was tracking the position of a rescue truck using his HAM. Not sure how that worked exactly...

    I did it because the guys I generally wheel with have a ham. I does make sense to have tho. Unless you are close together, CB range can be limiting. We've seen this in many instances.

    144.39 Mhz is reserved for APRS. Your 2 meter radio can broadcast a signal that can be picked up by repeater stations called iGates. The iGates forward the signal that includes GPS location data to the web and can be read at aprs.fi. https://aprs.fi

    Any 2 meter radio can do this with a little help. Some models even have it built in. Also,If everyone in the group has aprs, they can each 'see' each other in the aprsdroid app in real time.

    If anyone has plans to travel through fall city/SR202 this weekend, take the long way. The street will be closed for festivities.

    The harbor freight blast cabinet just made me want to off myself. It literally took 6 hours to put the stupid thing together, and it fucking leaks sand out the bottom of the hopper. /endrant

    True. But for the price.... I'm pretty sure it's big enough I can do wheels in there too. I've just gotta get a roll of duct tape tomorrow.
