You have no idea. Some have been in the hobby for 50 years and have barely scratched the surface as to what can be learned in radio propagation and engineering.
Want an eye-opener? Get a book on radio design and engineering from the 1930s or 1940s. By the time you get mid-way through...
Preliminary planning - I am planning on getting there early this time, probably 9-10am Friday morning. If I am the first one there I'll cordon off a parking area for our group with cones and rope, or something similar, to give us our normal camping area. Not sure if anyone else is planning on...

There was a guy here a while back, maybe a year or so ago, who was located near Portsmouth and he was in the Coast Guard Reserve. Said he could get in, pickup from GL, and get off base in a matter of minutes, since he had a Reservist ID and just got waved in. I think he had a 5-ton M923 or...
Interesting resto you have going on - subscribed! I wanna see this thing all made green and happy again.
