  1. I’ve been looking at a dobsonian mount tabletop Celestron. Just curious how easy they are to maneuver?
  2. That’s awesomeness!!
  3. I’m an overachiever… most all my hobbies are expensive. Or.. they can be lol. I had a Celestron. Good… but I want to see deep space. Nebulae, star clusters, other planets. Etc.
  4. I’m certainly interested in doing something like that. One, it helps people and two, it makes me have to learn and be good(ish) at it.
  5. How many star gazers do we have in this group? What telescopes are y’all using? I’m looking at new ones… I have my eye on a Celestron - AstroMaster 130EQ.
  6. You and Wayoverthere have a good point.. getting my license is kind of like being a kid and your mom gives you $20 and turns you loose in a candy store. The buck wild starts itching…
  7. Thanks for the recommendation! I’ve been looking at the TYT TH-UV88 Ham Radio Starter Kit on that buy 2 way radio website. Do you know anything about these radios?
  8. Would it be better to get a home base kind of radio or a handheld? I feel like a home base sort would have more power. There’s more accessories for that sort of radio…
  9. I absolutely agree that support is crucial! And people you can learn from. There’s quite a few radio clubs within my vicinity. One has an emergency team that seems interesting. I’m sure I’m going to have to have my general license to join that. But it gives me a reason to learn and be proficient!
  10. As of tonight, I’ve been blessed to become an amateur amateur radio person. So, with all of y’all’s knowledge and expertise, what tips, suggestions, advice, dingleberries of wisdom do y’all have for new hams?
  11. I’d describe myself as a “radio oddity” sort of pun…
  12. I’m sure the return of the hobby has brought you 2 closer.
  13. Who are the real radio dorks around here though?…. Like who has proposed and/or met women and such on radio
