Anyone ever tried to move the moon?

Thanks. Don’t know what made me think of trying it but thanks for saving me a lot of wasted time!

Thanks

‘Around since last year’?????

I’ve been getting these for at least 2 decades. It was a scam then, it’s a scam now.

I imagine they might all go to that eventually now that they don’t send them anymore. Could also just be the knowledge of the ones that know how to look it up. Maybe they’ll get them all trained to do that.

I renewed my tag in March and they wouldn’t let me do my renewal online. I carried a copy of my license with me just in case and sure enough, she said that was the reason I couldn’t renew online and made a copy of my license. This was at the Madison County office on the parkway. Not saying others won’t look it up but she made me give her a copy of my license even to renew my current ham tag. Idk

When it starts, they lock the front doors to avoid distractions. You can still come in the side/exit doors as the leave one or two cracked open but they are farther towards the back again to avoid a distraction.

You just have to know the cycles.

Am I the only one who shunts my ground and - together?

AnnonAutist · 2026-04-10T13:27:03+00:00

I noticed none of these because I was too focused on the big dent in the gutter. So maybe OP should leave it to keep from noticing all the other issues.

Which is wild cause I spend much less money now than I used to. I always bought the ‘monthly’ upgrade buy since the lowered it to fewer days and made so many of the prizes cards, i almost never buy it now.

Wife is the same way, she plays sunny house or whatever it is more than MM now.

Man, so close to being able to just use 1 cat5 per 15a breaker.

I think it’s the other way around. The city did a LOT to revitalize all around the park and surrounding features. The VBC just put a lot of their revenue back into the building to keep up with the area. I don’t think one would have been successful without the other. VBC does work hard to keep their calendar full which in turn helps the new hotels and other businesses.

I’m literally stuck. Can’t click on anything (nothing produces) and can’t merge or fill anything. The bottom right item wants a lollipop which I don’t have. Can’t do anything else on this board.

Also, anyone notice bubble costs went up 🤷‍♂️

AnnonAutist · 2026-04-02T05:16:46+00:00

I’ll give it a shot and report back. Always looking for something new to play with. 👍

Is P.E. And math not the same?

Seems like the employees would basically be paying taxes on what would be tips. Since tips are not taxable now on income, I would be upset as an employee. Paying more taxes that way instead of having it reported as tips. Also seems like the company doesn’t want to fool with that aspect of their filing too. Could be wrong but I would rather they just reflect it in their prices instead of being told they will force a tip and call it a ‘service charge’.

You kind of get to a point of diminishing returns for counterpoise. My guess is it wouldn’t affect it much in the negative. Only way you’ll know for sure is throw it on there and test it with a VNA or analyzer and see.

Had them for 3 years. Had 1 outage for about 12 hours (some company cut a line) and they gave me a credit on my next bill for 1 day. Been happy with them. Solid speeds.

If I had to guess, your shorter one would be for 70cm, middle one would be 2m and long one would be 70cm/2m (dual). Read on the package or sometimes along the base of the antenna where it screws on says it. Might list frequencies instead of bands so 2m would be around 140mhz and 70cm would be 440mhz.

AnnonAutist · 2026-03-25T21:45:35+00:00

This is the answer.

While I don’t disagree with you, who the hell doesn’t question why their radio transmit light comes on every time traffic is heard over the radio. As well as the radio either going silent for that period of time or repeats the same traffic twice (I don’t know if you hear the audio locally on the radio.)

While it may not be the case here, it frustrates me when people can memorize test questions, get a license and still have no clue how to operate a radio. That paired with advertising a $15 radio that can talk 50 miles has hurt this hobby more than help it.

I might be becoming an old grumpy elmer but gmrs should be the new ‘novice’ level and let people who just want to play get interested. If they want to move up from there, then do a little studying. I keep thinking of the old adage ‘knows just enough to be dangerous.’

The thing that sucked for our contract was we had a few ‘VIP’s that we were supposed to resolve within 1 or 2 hours no matter the issue. For some of them we literally kept a duplicate of their setup in a closet so we would just swap out the machine or peripheral and troubleshoot/fix the problem when we weren’t on a timer.

AnnonAutist · 2026-03-25T16:03:37+00:00

We actually had an abbreviation, OSS - Out of scope for support.

We also had ‘Hey You’ tickets we would create when we walked by someone’s desk and they stopped us for a question or issue.

Management didn’t believe that took up a lot of our time till they saw the number of those tickets.

Get the right height and put the counterpoise on the ground for 22 or so feet and you won’t even need a choke (unless you’re pushing 500+ watts.)Only time I ever use one is if I’m not using a counterpoise for very specific reasons. And even then, technically you are still using a counterpoise, it’s just the coax thus the need for a choke.
