No one will ever love you. Just drink drano. 

Does Liquid Plumber work? That's all I have at home.

I really don't need new toys, my mobile and HT's are all unlocked. I have been thinking about getting the Comet 2x4SRNMO antenna, but for now my MXT-A26 will work fine.

My main reason for wanting my HAM license is mainly for search and rescue. I am on the local SAR team, plus I go camping, hiking, fishing, off roading a lot in the mountains here in Southern Colorado. So I am very often out of cell range. I just wanted an extra tool in case of emergency. There are hardly any GMRS repeaters in my area, but several HAM repeaters.

I added him to my ignore list so I don’t see his posts anymore.  It’s worth it.

Either his reply got deleted or maybe he was banned. I don't see his reply.

 

Destro, congratulations on getting your technician license. Now you know it won't be long before you start studying for the general which will open up the HF bands to you.
