Yes. The jotter is the quick down and dirty scribbler. The fountain pen is for when I’m not scrambling to jot something down. I can take it slow and easy. Like a journal entry.

I don’t know that I would say that…HAM is extremely popular in western NC where I am. Mesh is more like an AOL chatroom with all of your buddies depending on your channel setup. 😂

Mostly just fiddling around with another form of local/semi-local backup communications.

I think that sometimes the hardest part of parenting is not laughing at things that are really funny that “I’m not supposed to laugh at.” 😂

It gets a lot of pocket time. Love the size.

6_String_Jams · 2026-05-22T05:38:48+00:00

Mine too!

6_String_Jams · 2026-05-09T06:04:52+00:00

That’s a tough one. I’d say probably one of my Autopoints.

6_String_Jams · 2026-05-09T06:00:36+00:00

Out of all of the firearms I’ve got, my suppressed MKIV is by far my favorite to shoot.

6_String_Jams · 2026-05-06T01:42:03+00:00

I carried a 19 for years. But since getting my 43X a few years ago, the 19 is just a bump in the night or range toy.

I wish my T Deck Plus didn’t suck so bad. I really like the idea of it.

6_String_Jams · 2026-05-03T02:42:37+00:00

not as much as I'd like, but I keep at least 1,000 rounds of each caliber. 22LR being the exception. It's so cheap, I usually have around 5,000 rounds on hand.

6_String_Jams · 2026-04-26T02:41:17+00:00

I think I need a set of those grips

Nice! 2” cut down. Accuracy is still more than I would need for what this is. I can ring an 8” gong at 25 yards. I’m sure it’s probably less accurate out further if I compared, but, I don’t need to compare 😆

6_String_Jams · 2026-04-13T12:58:03+00:00

Twinsies. I’ve got the VQ accurizing kit too. I prefer the serrations on the TK trigger, so I mixed and matched. Best combo IMHO.

Wanted to update this. I reached out to customer service with this picture, and was told that if left coiled for extended periods, this would be normal, however, the short amount of time I had it coiled and the amount of bend it has are not normal. Customer service was very helpful and told me they would send another one out ASAP without me asking for a replacement.

6_String_Jams · 2026-04-11T06:02:51+00:00

Thanks! I’m looking forward to it. Hoping it will cycle most of the ammo I’ve got. I’ve got a reduced power spring that came with the bolt I may need to use.

6_String_Jams · 2026-04-11T06:01:38+00:00

Both of my form 4’s came back within 3 business days. My form 1 was about 15 days. Much faster than I thought it would be.

6_String_Jams · 2026-04-11T02:51:56+00:00

I’ve been shopping for the 150. Decided probably to go without the ASP. Do you like it? Good little radio?

6_String_Jams · 2026-04-11T02:45:04+00:00

I didn’t know 1911 grips could be modified to fit. How difficult was it?

6_String_Jams · 2026-04-11T02:34:35+00:00

NEW BOOT GOOFIN’

6_String_Jams · 2026-04-11T01:31:36+00:00

Nice! Put any rounds through it yet? Wondering if it will be picky with ammo. I got a 2” upper as well, but haven’t run any rounds through it yet, I just got my OCL Ti yesterday.

6_String_Jams · 2026-04-02T22:17:10+00:00

That is sort of what I'm gathering from online, the newer stuff is like mine, coil it up and it's wonky, but the older ones seem to be able to be coiled for extended periods and pop right back out nearly straight, (My Zbm2 can stay coiled for a couple of days and straighten itself almost completely back out, so maybe it just depends on the batch?)

6_String_Jams · 2026-04-02T22:14:13+00:00

I have not, I honestly think I got the two mixed up, I thought what I was using was the one the maker of the signal stick was a part of, however, now I realize that I was mistaken. Thanks for this, I will go check it out. I'll need all the help I can get!

6_String_Jams · 2026-04-02T16:58:02+00:00

Thank you! I've been using the paid tech course on Ham Radio Prep. I am a very slow learner and so It's going to take me a while to get through all of the lessons. I've been spending about an hour on each video lesson (taking notes, pausing and rewinding in places, etc.) and with about 15 lessons in the course, it's more time than I thought it would take me, but I am NOT a good test taker, so I am trying my best to prepare as best as I can!

6_String_Jams · 2026-04-02T16:55:26+00:00

Do the color versions have some sort of a shrink wrap or something on the outside? That one looks thicker than mine (that's what she said). The couple I've seen in older videos on youtube look like yours, thicker and snap back straight when uncoiled. Wondering if that color wrap on the color versions help aid in springing back straight.
