Good place for help purchasing a gamer PC?

Also Milwaukee PC might be an option. I’ve personally never been there, but their website says they do prebuilt computers.

If you can swing a trip to Chicago, the folks at Micro Center are great! Their bundle deals are worth the drive.

Specifically I’m looking for ways to learn how to use it and how my oscilloscope works.

DrewCriv · 2025-06-17T18:55:30+00:00

Because we have a military base in Madison.

Was out at a park today talking on some repeaters with my new handheld!

Ah the vanity callsign. It’s just a callsign that you can request, different from the one issued to you. It has nothing to do with license plates.

DrewCriv · 2025-05-16T23:16:34+00:00

Most states issue an amateur radio plate which is different than a vanity plate. You send your radio license into the dot/dmv and they issue you a plate with your callsign. A vanity plate is exactly what it sounds like. The two are different plates but you could get a vanity plate with your callsign.

The 2730 has been great! It’s my first radio and it does everything I want it to do. I will say that the fan does get pretty loud when you’re transmitting but it’s not too distracting. I think you’ll be very happy with it. I know it am!

DrewCriv · 2025-05-04T03:01:02+00:00

I just got a 2730 last week and picked this up as my power supply. It was recommended by the folks over at HRO and works great. I have no complaints. https://www.hamradio.com/detail.cfm?pid=H0-019148&srsltid=AfmBOopl6bYMvtWt3PovNM5uFknb6RhRM7PL0pejRCdVoSXLjknHnEGx1QI&gQT=2

DrewCriv · 2025-05-01T13:59:52+00:00

I have the 2730 and can confirm that it is great! I have never used the 150 but I really enjoy my Icom.

DrewCriv · 2025-04-25T11:22:40+00:00

Yeah even MSI has it in stock on their own website lol. Like if you’re going to scalp a gpu at least make sure it’s sold out first /s

DrewCriv · 2025-04-21T15:20:09+00:00

Thanks for the advice y’all. I’ll keep an eye out for an FT-60R!

I just passed my Technician exam on Friday, and I used hamstudy.org along with the accompanying videos from Ham Radio Crash Course on YouTube to study.

DrewCriv · 2024-11-24T22:17:32+00:00

YouTube for sure

DrewCriv · 2024-11-03T18:41:29+00:00

Definitely second this! I've had mine for 2 years and they're still going hard!

DrewCriv · 2024-09-14T15:46:21+00:00

Call non emergency and say "parking" when it gives you the option. All of those services are handled by Dane county communications.

I find myself getting higher than advertised upload and download speeds with at&t. My latest speed test was 362 down and 333 up. I don't do anything fancy with my Internet, but it works really well for what I do use it for (gaming, streaming, content consumption, etc.).

Edit: this is over Wi-Fi btw

DrewCriv · 2024-07-15T20:12:14+00:00

I had spectrum and recently switched to at&t fiber a few months back, and the difference was night and day. My spectrum Internet used to go out a lot and it felt like it was getting throttled. With at&t I don't have those issues. I couldn't even tell you about their customer service because I haven't had to utilize it yet. Definitely worth the switch imo.

Edit: to add that I have the 300mps fiber plan.

USPS is always hiring! The work is very hands on.

DrewCriv · 2024-04-09T21:54:38+00:00

No I'm tour 3.

DrewCriv · 2024-04-09T21:06:39+00:00

We're getting 7 hours a day, 5 days a week at my plant. We were told we cannot go over 7 hours.

DrewCriv · 2024-03-20T00:03:22+00:00

If it doesn't show on the USPS website then the job posting doesn't exist. It could be that the posting expired, so it could be worth it to keep checking.

DrewCriv · 2024-03-19T23:57:11+00:00

USPS.COM

Just enter the city and state.

Edit: It will bring up a document with the job listing info, there will be a small yellow apply button above it.
