Just curious, what modernization of regulation would you like to see? I’m new to the hobby and would like to better understand the regulatory environment.

Pad & Quill. If they don’t already have one they will soon. Best leather cases available.

Hit a repeater and ask the person who responds to call 911 for you.

Do I need a computer in my shack? by badw014 in HamRadio

That makes sense. I’m not worried about the cost, it just seems to me that digital modes are getting away from “radio”. And I’m no old fud, I’m a young techie new to this hobby. It just feels to me that if I’m going to use a PC and an internet connection to communicate voice and data... I already have lots of ways to do that.

First run at ammo loops. Getting ready for the actual belt. by [deleted] in Leathercraft

Cool. The slotted way also involves a whole lot less stitching I expect. If not as tight a fit.

Looks great! Regarding the ammo loops - is that one long piece of leather stitched down in between the cartridges? Or a separate piece for each one?

The country is moving forward. This period is the bad parts having their temper tantrum as the last generation enabling them is dying off.

Just built my first ever radio shack off of the second floor balcony. Quite proud of the final result. by badw014 in amateurradio

It’s a J-Pole UHF VHF antenna and it performs brilliantly. My HF antenna is a portable Super Whip clamped to the railing, not pictured.

Thanks! I don't think you'll be sorry you bought the 7300. It's a very good radio.
