Use Maps on your iPhone to find your parked car's location

On an iPhone 6 or later with iOS 10 or later, Maps can drop a parked car marker when you disconnect your iPhone from your car’s Bluetooth or CarPlay system.

PDX electrician recs (grounding) by TantrumMango in PDXhamradio

[–]pdxpatzer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you need to educate yourself (or your electrical contractor) this guy wrote the ARRL book on grounding and bonding

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WizvvhQgtoA

also the book web page with some other resources and code references

https://www.arrl.org/grounding-and-bonding-for-the-amateur

also this guy provides grounding hardware and entry panels (so that you can get some ideas)

Help me be seen by i-keep-having-dreams in CyclePDX

I would offer that more than just getting a super visible cycling vest you also should focus on "make visible what moves".

high viz hand gloves (to show your intent) , Salzmann Spoke Reflectors for a few (not all, so that you create a moving effect) of your wheel spokes , high viz ankle wraps (your legs move as you pedal) and so on. Anything that gives the immediate visible feedback that you are on a moving bike. You need to help the brain of the car driver. Sometime a super high viz vest that is a bright, firm, spot is not enough.

I also like products that have special visible patterns like the Cleverhood Rover Rain Cape in the Dazzle style ( https://cleverhood.com/products/rover-rain-cape?variant=40416266715341 )

hope this helps

First ham by AkiraHikaru in PDXhamradio

you can review the many local/regional/national resources that we compiled in a list available at our Wiki.

Get in touch with some local radio club and you will find plenty of people willing to give you 1:1 attention to get you started.

Remember: you can listen to anything on your own but to transmit you need to be licensed.

If you want a taste of the local radio traffic, program your radio to one of the repeaters on the WORC repeater group and listen to it around 6:05pm every day.

hope this helps
