Exploring New England's natural beauty - The waterfall tour/camping trip extravaganza! June 22- 24

My impression, No repeater used/direct between users

 

Correct - Just radio to radio no repeater, so all you need to do is tune the radio to that specific frequency, no need to really adjust anything else or program it in... just punch the numbers in and talk.

Ham gets a bit more confusing once you add in repeaters as they typically have a different input and output frequency and a tone to open up the repeater to allow it to accept the signal, its easiest to do all this on the computer and then just transfer it all into the radio.

 

thank you sir, sounds like I can handle that

 

I can handle that as well

 

Aw crap. I just woke up. Tl/Dr what'd I miss.

 

Jesus Christ.

What zip you in. We can look up some local repeaters for you.

Hoping tomoroto to get down to ham radio outlet I. Salem NH. Everyone has suggested it so far. We will see if I leave with a new radio

Just got mine today. KC1JXQ

$18 Uv-5r VHF/UHF Dual Band Radio 144-148MHz 420-450MHz Transceiver

Uv-5r reppin!

Seriously. Can't wait to use this so that way if I fall in a river in the middle of no where, my family knows where to send the party.

CQ is more of a HF DXing bit. While not wrong from who people I've talked to, most say just toss out your call signs and wait a few seconds to see if it's clear. If anyone's monitoring it or using it they'll get back to you

 

Yea thats what I would do to- just call out your call sign, you can ask if anyone else is out there. I have heard CQ calls on 146.520 before though - I think technically its the "proper" thing to do, just like saying your call sign every 10 minutes.

For anyone looking for repeaters - www.repeaterbook.com has em all lister and searchable, as well as exportable. But.... not most all of these.. actually many of them may not be very active.

 

@Subway4X4 shopping for 1 is so hard!!

At least I got muffins

 

Muffins are clutch when camping. We might whip up some chocolate chip zucchini muffins if we have time

 

This sounds too healthy for me.

 

Believe it or not zuchinni muffins/bread is delicious in its own special way in that it tastes like its bad for you when its not. Its a special treasure!
