GraveYard Shift BS

Guess I better get some sleep. Got to get up in 3 hours for work. Night everyone!

 

Later Murph

Quad band ...

Yup. That's the top dog right there.

National simplex Chanel and the APRS channel there

 

I'm pretty sure I'll be fine with my little handheld for a good bit

 

For sure. They work great. I just let someone borrow my mag antenna and Baofeng and he had great luck reach people and having it be clear. Do you have anyone to help show you how to do things with it when it comes in?

Btw the reason it might be coming from China is there was just a huge fcc lawsuit with them. Forgot about it until now

 

Just the guys from TW that's near. I'll have to look up the lawsuit

And if you're ever driving around, try finding one of these towns near you on a list and punching in the frequency. During commute times you might here a bunch of people

The hospital has one
I think I counted 8 in my county

 

Normally, I can hear up to 35 miles on average. So anything in that circle you could possibly hear

 

I'd say that'll be plenty.

 

This will be my next on I think. A handheld and had digital abilities. DMR let's me talk to anyone in the world.

That's pretty sick.

 

Yep. And most repeaters are on the 2m band. So you can still use that one for all the local repeaters.


Counting the minutes to the end of the shift? I just laid out my last 40 minutes of work. And like clockwork they just called a meeting at 6:15

 

I'm hitting the door right at 7

 

I’m at the level of tired that I have no idea how I’m gonna get home...

 

Those days suck.

 

Auto pilot... and tss-p

 

Safety sense has only jammed on the brakes on me a couple times errantly.
