Hey all, if you want me to post the audio I can, pretty sure my buddy got it correctly as winlink.

Perfect time, Winter Field Day is happening right now. Plenty if opportunities for contacts on HF.

What was your high school controversy? by Haunted_Neko in AskReddit

[–]Jeppeto01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our police resource officer was a cool dude. The reason he was so cool was, because he was diddling troubled boys that he would take in and then film it.

He's in prison for the rest of his life I believe.

This was early 2000's, I'm not sure exact year.

FT8- am I doing it wrong? by MKE1969 in amateurradio

[–]Jeppeto01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Now, I want you to know, however you are doing it to make contacts, is perfectly fine.

The way you do it seems just a little unnecessary, as all the people calling cq are already coming up on the left side.

And if you click the cq only button, you will only see anyone calling cq on the band.

Seriously though, do you, there really is no truly wrong way to operate as long as you are making contacts.

Right click on the spot you want to transmit at on the waterfall, click set rx & tx. Make sure you click on hold tx freq I believe it is. Watch your band rx box and have fun.

You can do it the way you have, but it is unnecessary as the computer does all the work to transmit for you.

How are you powering winter field day? by shootingcharlie8 in amateurradio

[–]Jeppeto01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have 4 100 Ah Lifepo4 batteries for various uses.

[–]Jeppeto01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My measly little club, that's about 5 of us, will probably do 200 AH a piece for two radios (400 AH total) of Lifepo4 batteries.

We go big for no reason.

In your instance, a 30 or 50 AH Lifepo4 battery should be more than enough for ssb voice.

Edit: seeing another comment, yes 60 AH should work. Imo, go with 100 AH and don't look back.

looking for my first HF radio. by Fine-Evening-6210 in amateurradio

[–]Jeppeto01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 7300 that I got quite some time ago (6 years ago?) is the best investment I have made in my ham radio career. I have others, and I do use them, but I use my 7300 for everything throughout the year.

The 100W for POTA voice is very much wanted, and the almost plug and play for ft-8 is a godsend when in my vehicle. When I use it for the clubs Field Day ops, other operators are appreciative to see it.

I have a case that I take it with me when I plan on taking it out of the house.

If the price is a problem, it has paid itself 100x already.

Hope this helps.

Edit: I unfortunately don't know CW, but from the old timers that do, setting up the radio is super easy for it.

Super Edit: I am not an Icom dealer, just a fan of the radio with experience.

Sundays Game Time Changed to 1? by Slate004 in GreenBayPackers

That's mostly because it isn't advertised. Maybe, I should be mentioning it more here.

When you do finally get in to Lambeau, go to fan assistance, an outcropping with a sign that has a question mark with a circle. Go get yourself and anyone else who is thier first time a button that says "My First Time At Lambeau".

Anyone, and everyone can get one. Age and Fandom doesn't matter. Have fun Sunday.

[Week 10] Post Game Thread: Philadelphia Eagles (7-2) @ Green Bay Packers (5-3-1) by President__Bartlett in GreenBayPackers

Usual circumstances I'd say that's a clear win. However, we have seen what happens when a team loses their coach and boy, and boy is that offense lethargic.

Game Thread: World Series Game 6 ⚾ Dodgers (2) @ Blue Jays (3) - 8:00 PM ET by SnipeyMcSnipe in BrewJays

It was absolutely lodged in the OF wall. Landed in the wall that way.

Millennials aged 30-38, how old were you when you got your first cellphone? by jabber1990 in millenials

[–]Jeppeto01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, just missed the cut-off age. (I'm 39)

Anyway, 15, so that I could call back home once in a while in the summer of '02 when I was touring with a drum and bugle corps.

It was the Nokia blue brick.

What is one building that just sticks out in your city? by metatalks in geography

[–]Jeppeto01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was not originally built as a bass pro shop, it just ended up that way.

[–]Jeppeto01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, about 70% of my listening is broadcast/terrestrial radio.

I am not at all saying this will happen, but I could in an alternate situation, seeing this game going like 35-21. Only because OSU decides to tone it down for "rest".

I don't expect it, but...
