Amateur (Ham) Radio BS and Callsign Thread!

Added the cbi antenna bracket. Now I need to go to HRO and get a new antenna.

 

Anyone have photos or links on Yaesu FT-2900R installs in a 2nd Gen Tacoma? Not having a detachable face makes it tougher to find a mounting location out of the way that does not scar up the interior or bounce around on rough trails.

 

Ferrite cage.... Faraday cage.... Ferret cage.... whatever works

 

Checked the FCC webpage today.

I'm now N7TRD. Time to edit the sig

 

^Congrats. I got my 1x3 call about a year ago. So much better.

 

I waited a while before requesting a vanity. I couldn't decide what I wanted.

 

I want my Extra vanity call sign. But my current call sign is enough....

 

Don't even know what I was thinking

 

When I get a break from school, Ill continue studying for my extra. I was thinking I was going to wait at first simply to take advantage of the rarity of them... But Nah

 

Only reason i got my Extra rating is so i dont have to worry where i can and can not talk....

 

Hi all, I'm still new around here. I saw this topic on the main page. I've got my amateur radio license. The name is Jeremy and my callsign is KI4OQS. To be honest I haven't been on the air for quite some time...school and then work took priority. I need to get back in it. I'm enjoying looking at everyone's setup in their Tacomas!

 

nice.

Im running a borrowed FT-60 through a 1/2 comet. I can receive really well but sometimes transmitting when in the sticks is rough. Planning on getting a Kenwood D-710 in the future.

But the current system gets me connected in town and on the trail.

 

Bigger antenna,
Get a 5/8 over 5/8 lol

 

So where do I start to find out about getting a vanity, like searching availability and what my options are for a basic technician license?

Hey Folks, Just found this forum. Any case I thought I would share the mount I made for my 857d. I struggled figuring out where to mount the face place and came upon this idea.

 

Looks Clean, I used a goose neck installed on the drivers seat bolt but, just ordered a Tech Deck to move it up to the area by the A/C controls.

 

That's bad ass!

 

I have been wanting to get my amateur radio license FOREVER!!!

 

I did something similar, but used a RAM X-Grip to hold the face on my TS-480Sat



The TM-D700 mount is screwed into the bottom of the same lip the Tech Deck bolts onto.
