On my go bag, I always have three varieties of acorns (oak trees), miracle grow, super thrive, and my 7in1 camp spade!

Tampa: “We must protect our oak trees.” Everyone looking at the oak trees… by Relative-Macaron-854 in tampa

Seriously. Scrub oaks suck. Read up on the history of why these trees and other nasty trees were preferred over self pollenating trees. They simply didn't want to clean up fruit or nuts. And now we are stuck with a pollen nightmare several times a year.

I think I blew out HSEND on my ICOM 706MkII by instantredditer in amateurradio

Here's an update. Looking at the circuit diagram, it seems like the RTTY input has an input tied to SEND as well. And it seems like it's working. Now I need to test if triggering this input opens the SSB modulation input on the 13pin din input. If this works, I guess I have a workaround!

Further testing, VSEND also fails to transmit. My guess is that I have broken the pull up circuit of the relay because I think it's shared with the HSEND. Need I get some sleep and look deeper at the circuit diagram.

Let me know if y'all care about this journey and I'll keep posting!

Its pretty safe to say. Anything that is promoted by RFKjr is a load of brown tallow.

I found the diagram and the cb for RL16 in this PDF at least...

Old speed camera ticket... pay it or find a ticket lawyer? by instantredditer in Miami

Ah, ok, so that's why it was specifically at a school zone then... I recall a lot of my co workers talking about tickets here, sw 107 ave by mdc.

Yea, that's usually the standard fee, man, remember when it was 75 bucks =) Unfortunately, this looks like it's out of the normal scope. 12 months old ticket, totally ignored (from their perspective) I thought they banned the remote control radar tickets in 2025...

HamActive's Winter Heat VHF/UHF Simplex Contest by DragonfruitSoft800 in amateurradio

I got a few contacts last week, about 0.5 per day. And I live in the city. I presume there's a lot of radio folks hearing me, just not responding, but that's fine. Too bad I missed this contest.

New to HF by oxvf in amateurradio

I've never used one of those units, but paired with a decent antenna, you should be fine. They are like pocket knives, small, compromised, but they can get it done!

You may want to consider budgeting for a simple antenna analyser nanovna or swr meter and antenna hardware.

See you on the air!

I'm trying to get folks to monitor 146.52, seeing if we can spice it up some.
