I thought about that shortly after I posted it.

When is Dayton, I'm up north right now and might try to get a load headed that way.

 

[Recovry4x4]

I'd study but this is the only time of the year I can work outside. Go figure!

 

[SCSG-G4]

Kenny,

Summer's coming, and you won't want to be outside then.

The planets align and serve to shaft anyone wanting to go to Findlay and the Hamvention again this year. Both May 15-17th.

And it is the Cass railfan weekend. Three activities that I like, all on the same weekend.

Just as a note, I did not have any trouble talking with Steve at the compound, using a icon mobile rig at 25 watts on a 1/4wave antenna, from anywheres on Durhamtown, using simplex.

 

[swbradley1]

Yeah, I was going to mention that JP. You did well with that little mag mount I loaned you on the M37 coupled with your radio. I usually ran about 25W back at the base tent off my makeshift "tower".

I should have a 15ft tall 6m. dipole set up this fall for my base radio. It should reach out there pretty far although the vehicle's whip was reaching base from the BBQ joint with 4 watts.
If you have a green radio bring it! Green trucks and green radios go hand in hand.

Alright so since the ford decided to die on me starting next week I'm going full force into the 818 to get it fully mission ready for the rally. Just have to do a bearing job on the 750 trailer but I have a lot of ideas for the truck I want to get done.

In the truck I have hf and dstar. I'm going to be on the lookout for a good repeater on fleabay to put in the trailer.

Wife has already given me the green light to go so it's happening this year.

I was searching for the rally thread and tapatalk is, well tapatalk.

Has it been started or is my searching skills just that bad?

 

[clinto]

Rally info thread hasn't been published but will soon. Working on it now.

 

[ke5eua]

Ok, thought my specific "official 2015 ss" search term wasn't good enough.

 

[clinto]

There are some big changes (good ones) for the 2015 event and we're trying to get them all in place before putting up the thread. It's getting tough.

 

[ke5eua]

Do we have dates?

It is the 2nd weekend in October for 2015. I can't guarantee it won't get pushed back for 2016. We have no choice for 2015 but 2016 depends upon this years weather. If it's near 90°, it moves in 2016.

Search is overrated, I'll just ask the same question 490 times.

Ill call d-town and reserve my cabin now since I still have a credit from last year.

Bumping this up.

 

[wilfreeman]

So how many are left Steve?

 

[kubotaman]

Guys if I could suggest 60 meter channel 3, 5.357 USB. Anybody with HF privileges (general and up) can use this frequency. Most modern civilian rigs made in the past 5-10 years can access this frequency. This frequency is used a military events in the north east area often. Every HF military radio i can think of can hit this frequency. Just keep the power under 100 watts PEP
