well I'm a electronics tech for the coast guard. ive dealt with nmea 0183 for the past 11 years. but just got a new unit that has 2000 which is witchcraft to me. but when I retire, I would like to try and get a job in the same area. more quals though wont hurt.

 

Nice. So when you pass the extra, you can explain antenna theory to me. This is already working out for me.


P.s. hey @koditten . How you doin'?

 

Just watched the features video on the jeep gladiator, thing looks nice but can’t trust current FCA vehicles...

 

PFM (pure fu!@#$% magic). haha. I'm rusty on all that stuff. all I have to worry about for work is VSWR. if its above 1 reflected, find whats broken and replace it. unless its hf. then I can have like3-5 depending on my power out. I envy the army guys some since they know so much more then I do. but I also don't do install. I maintain and fix. and even then some of our gear is becoming more and more swap tranics. oh this is bad? replace the hole thing. even if I had my 2M cert I couldn't touch the circuit cards and replace the components on it. that's kind of why ive thought about starting up a thing once I get into ham and by broken gear and fix it then sell it.

 

Morning Bill. Still getting quiet time at home these days ?

 

4.5-5 hours on average each day.

How goes the wedding planning?

 

Good good. Got a venue picked out. Onto the catering and photographer.


Basically just flushing the metaphorical money flowing toilet every day now. But as long as she's happy

 

That’s all that matters.
Coming up on 10 years together, 5 married.
Still hemorrhaging money but in different places.

 

best of luck to ya man.

 

9 years this spring . Nothing new except she'll want kids and I'll finally be able to get my dachshunds.


Btw Bill I got to ride in one of those John Deere sport Gators. Damn it.

 

Sup Bill

 

I'll get to it one day
I need to get back on the general studying

 

congrats. and the sayings true "happy wife happy home". that's why ive had a crap last 2 months. she told me she wants to separate. just wasn't happy anymore. but more money for my truck parts now.

 

@gixxerphil dude, that thread for that rack was funny. so much trash and idiocy. but I like how no one answered your simple question of " how much change is needed".

 

Start learning Morse now !

 

is morse needed for the test?

 

Negative. Used to be. They did away with it.

 

ok. thought so. coffine is wearing to wear off so I went into a panic real fast when I read that.

 

Haha nope. It's out dated. But it is still a powerful signal that gets through when voice doesn't.

 

Gotta look into the kominsky method on Netflix. I think you'd like it
