Nova Scotia BS Thread

Are you in the Halifax area? I have never yet had the chance to try to talk to anyone with my CB. I drive around with it set on scan, and sometimes I hear people talking, but never anyone nearby.

I'd like to test mine, if you like we might try to meet up. Maybe get a few more of the locals in?

Edit: I should note that I have only had mine in for about a week

 

I'm in Dartmouth. It'd be fun too meet up and get a few more locals in. My truck's not lookin looking pretty right now though... I put the cap on for camping and it's a major PITA to take off so I'm rolling around with a mismatched cap.

I don't have scan so I'm just sticking to channel 1. If you see an ugly 2nd gen with a crap mag-mount on the roof, try and hit me up on channel 1.

 

Most of the guys I wheel with hang out on channel 16. That's where I usually am

 

We use 16 in the valley. 1 is for truckers, gives me entertainment on my drives to work.

 

I never pick up truckers!

 

so Farenheit, run this weekend. you free ?

 

I dont get them all the time. But i can usually count on hearing something on my drive. Did you tune your swr?

Run on sunday that is.

 

Cap on for camping = looks awesome in my books.

I'm going to be away on and off for the next couple weeks (vacation!) but I will definitely hit you up if I see you. My 4 door is black and the 4' antenna is mounted about 2/3 of the way back on the driver's side box rail. Also, I often have a very functional but not pretty canoe rack on.

 

My friend, who runs HAM radios, had an antenna analyzer for the week so we tuned mine. I got it below 2.0 across the band, but never got a really good SWR.

 

Im free Friday day, looks like in heading to the homeland on Saturday morning for the night.

In a side note, took my brother and his daughter beach hunting this afternoon, the one Kirk was looking for i took them to, theres a fairly steep bank before you drop down to the shore, 4 lo and ahe crawled right up there like it was nothing, even in the wet grass! I love my truck <3

 

we are thinking sunday, does that work for you ? and anyone else whos interested ? some aylesford trails or ellershouse or something?

 

Right now Sunday looks like a no go, fireworks in Annapolis Royal that night But if anything changes, I'm on board

 

I can do Friday after 11am

 

So who all tried that windows 10 fuckery? Almost bricked my 4 month old Lenovo Y40. Driver issues lol! I'd like to hear from someone who actually had luck with it!

 

Oh hell no. I picked up an Asus ROG for work a few months ago because we JUST got our Geo software working on Windows 8.1, and I do not feel like turning that into an expensive paperweight. Might dig up my old HP work laptop on Windows7 and give it a try for entertainment though.

 

What go software are you running? I'm a geography major. Mainly into the economic side but it's all interesting to me!

 

The WellSight Suite of logging software (vertical/horizontal striplogs), CoreCAD, sometimes Schlumbergers Petrel, and on rare occasions Kingdom. The last two less often since they're usually on an office desktop.

Also some microscope camera software interface packages that generally run like shit no matter what and never get updated by the companies haha.

For a while I had to run WellSight in an XP Virtual Machine. So glad thats a thing of the past.

 

Well that's more than I know about lol! I've got arcGIS and arcMAP under my belt but that's it haha.

 

Ha! I haven't used those since school. Used to spend a lot of time using arcGIS, arcMAP, and Idrisi Taiga.

 

Any one come to StanceEast Summer slammed jam?
