      Here's my nickel worth (formerly known as two cents...but inflation ya know) If you are thinking of getting into amateur radio, shoot for the General license. It means two tests, but the privileges it gets you are huge. The ability to communicate several states, or several countries away is...

Putting Acorn and Butternut Squash in the back garden. We planted about 150 garlic plants last fall and they are all doing very well. We can or...

      I highly suggest this....memorize, pass the test, then your learning begins.

      Negative. Not a chance....bring the shiny new credit card or a shoebox full of cash. You're gonna need it. You will see things you didn't even know you needed.

      They aren't doing it. It was dropped. Might come back the next time. ARRL is under a lot of heat right now. Losing members at a rapid pace I imagine.

      Emergency Communication

      Boneless or Semi-boneless.... Interesting...VHF/UHF? Do you have HF coverage? Portable antennas? Fixed antennas? What's your power source?

      K4SWL Tom Witherspoon has about a half dozen YT's out there now showing this new radio off. Personally I love doing POTA but this radio is not for me. I do love my KX-2 though.

      If you're a CW POTA op...Elecraft has a new radio out. The KH-1 made for SOTA and POTA operators. All self contained. They started shipping a few this week. Looks interesting.

      Parks On The Air - who is doing this? My POTA station is a KX-2 with AX-1 antenna. The whole station packs up into a LowePro padded case about 11" by 11" and maybe 5" thick. My station is mainly used for CW but the KX-2 also does SSB, AM and a couple digital modes. The KX-2 has internal...

      When did Indianapolis start going down hill?

      Roger Drollinger, lead killer at Hollandsburg...died in prison at age 60. That's awesome. The other three killers from Hollandsburg are still in prison at Pendleton. David Smith, Michael Wright, and Daniel "Stoney" Stonebraker have been denied parole everytime they asked. Lets hope it stays...

      When did Indianapolis start going down hill?

      Well we got fed up with Indy and fled the county in 1980. Haven't looked back. So I have no idea.

      Pizza Delivery is Dead to Me

      Pizza delivery is a lose lose deal. That's why no one wants to do it. The gasoline is stupid expensive. The tips are not usually great. The delivery gigs are all hurting.
