Colorado B.S. Thread

After watching youtube videos all night I'm ordering the baofeng for sure. Probably save up for a mobile system while I learn on the cheap ht. Gonna go to a swap today at adams Co fairground and explore

 

One step closer. He got engaged yesterday!

 

I was wondering too about Jace...... anyway Congrats Jace!!!!!!

 

Morning all, anyone know where i can find some tacoma world vinyl stickers ?

I saw someone with a tacoma world decal on their taco and id love to sport the site as well!

edit: i searched around and couldnt find anything other than custom trd stickers.

 

thanks everyone!

 

Congrats Jace

 

PM Chris4x4 I believe. He's a mod on the site. Sean is that correct?

 

Is there a HAM radio thread on here? I wonder if there is more interest though out the site.

 

Congrats Jace!

PM tcbob asking for one with you address. Although it took several PMs over the course of several months to get mine.

 

Are you trying to tell me to keep my HAM BS off the Colorado BS thread?

There is a HAM thread. Probably not welcome as I don't have my license yet.

Odomandr just got his license. I'm trying to start a Colorado revolution here!

Lead, follow or get out of the way

 

Congrats Jace!

 

No. I was just curious if there was one. It something I do want to learn more about just need to find the time.

 

There you go. I knew someone would have the right answer. Thanks Brett.

 

Here's a TW thread

Here's a study guide

Pretty simple stuff. Probably ~$15 to take a test for tech license to be legal.

Based on what I've tried with my baofeng setups, there's a little, but not a whole lot to be gained over CB for radio to radio communications using the baofengs but they're dirt cheap and can get you going.
The real kicker is when you hit a repeater. Then your range is essentially limitless as far as I understand it. The right repeaters I think, put transmissions out over the internet that are broadcast by other repeaters so you can communicate around the world.
Might be real handy in an emergency for sure.

I have to get off my butt and go get my license here soon.

 

I'm looking to get my ham license here soon as well.

though I don't know if I can make happen before Moab, as I've got two weeks of training, as well as a move to contend with first.

 

I literally bought a book last weekend and read it before bed then took the exam this weekend. App on my tablet with some practice questions.Hamradioschool.comhas some good practice too. Not a lot to get a tech license. qrz.com is good to explore too

 

nice how'd you do?

 

34/35. Really not tough to prepare for

 

sweet... may knock this out sooner than later.

 

thanks
