  1. @Northcutt114 if you're not against climbing some hills, you might also look into SOTA, Summits On The Air. I don't have a portable rig yet but I just ordered a QCX-mini today. I'm hoping to do some SOTA this fall when I go out to west Texas. It appears that there is 5 summits on the ranch where I go.
  2. LOL!!! And here I thought "Patio On The Air" was funny.
  3. 200 watts isn't QRP.
  4. @AdmiralCochrane I swear, if you make me pull out the dictionary one more time...
  5. Because it's fun. I haven't soldered in many years. Currently building a Cricket 20 and really enjoying it. Planning on buying a QCX-mini real soon.
  6. @Northcutt114 I love your avatar.
  7. I'm sure there are sad hams that use the term "appliance operator" in a derogatory way but every time I've heard it so far has been a ham referring to himself.
  8. If they did, they wouldn't be cheap.
  9. The only time a ham can receive compensation for the craft is when teaching at an educational institution.
  10. Congratulations! I knew you could do it.
  11. I took the test in January 2024. Just changed my call sign this April.
  12. I only needed one. Just had to be able to pan around to prove I wasn't cheating.
  13. The technical aspect of ham radio is like the cost, it goes from very little to...well no one really knows the limit.
  14. Very similar to the one I heard, "every radio is a smoke machine if you use it wrong enough."
  15. It's multiple choice, you will do fine. Don't sell yourself short.
  16. I hate it when you have to orfder the cable separate.
  17. I'm sure any of those will be nicer to use than my old boat anchors.
  18. @WSJH655 welcome to GMRS. Lots of fun and good information here.
  19. I didn't say they couldn't buy it. Still doesn't make it right.
  20. @UncleYoda thanks for pointing this out. Some people have issues with the ARRL but I appreciate their diligence on matters like this. As they pointed out, AST is trying to grab something they have no legitimate right to. Amazing how some people think that just because they want something, they automatically have a right to it
  21. Good reason not to spend money in such countries.
  22. So it is spoken, so shall it be done.
