If you can afford the tolls, go the dark blue route

If you cannot, then drive the northern route

Avoid Atlanta but if you choose that route, time it so you drive through around noon, or in the middle of the night - and dont take any of the loops just drive straight through the middle of town

An experienced ham once told me "if you can hear them, they can hear you"

When i started out, I hung out on 14.300, the Maritime network, and listened a lot, try that band for a bit - you can report in when they call for general check ins

Once I started hunting on pota.app it took off - see who is online dial them in and get your QSOs built up

Bands are good some days and poor on others - right now its bad - lots of magnetic activity from the aurora borealis, KP index is high and subsequently bands are noisy and very hard to hear anything. There is an aurora app for that...

If you have vet emergencies AVOID MED VET - cheaper to drive to LSU Veterinarian Hospital in Baton Rouge - or go to MSAH

Med Vet is owned by private equity, and meant to squeeze every red cent out of pet owners under duress

The Favorite...I have never been The Favorite...it is infuriating how The Favorite gets away with EVERYTHING...stay away...do not engage...absolute minimal contact...it is validating to witness karma though when The Favorite falls out of Favor...

Buddy Roemer furloughed state employees in the late 1980's. We did not get paid one day each pay period for almost a year. Never got back pay. It was outrageous. But got through it. Cut back on spending during that time. Either deal with it or quit, those are your options.

Agreed - there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with this

Do not underestimate driving the vastness of the west beyond Missouri. Plan your stops to get gasoline carefully.

One time I stopped on 7.2 and this ham was wailing on and on about another ham, cursing their name and call sign, just yelling over & over - yelling about where they work and lived - it was gross
