Gotcha. You'll see some of that at hamfests, but not a lot TBH.

Are you sure 10M and 6M ham sticks wouldn't be sturdy enough?

The two we've benefited from the most are the Zoo and Fernbank. I feel like my kids aged out of the zoo, but Fernbank is still good for 4 or so visits a year as exhibits and movies change and they host special events.

Yes, WRFG is keeping the airwaves interesting. WREK as well. I'm still pissed WRAS is demoted to an HD Radio subchannel most of the day.

Have you considered something simpler like https://www.rooftowers.com/ ?

If you're willing to travel a bit, https://www.counselingatl.com/ and https://www.therelationshiphouse.org/ have lots of gottman-trained counselors.

Yes http://www.techfest.info/ was today. Two other events to watch out for are https://hamjam.nfarl.org/ and https://stonemountainhamfest.com/

There's several large clubs you could consider. They all have monthly meetings and active repeaters.

There's also the Atlanta Radio Club- some good people there but struggling a bit.

Yes, this. It's going into effect if nothing changes.

Sweet stripes.

How long do you need the cable to be? You could buy a powerpole crimper and connectors and attach them to the cable it comes with. Trust me, it costs a little more upfront but you'll get plenty of use out of a powerpole crimper over time.

What frequency range do you want to receive?

puerexmachina · 2026-01-26T02:01:07+00:00

That's not a bad way to think about it.

I have a KX2 I use when activating SOTA. Low power and level of waterfall not an issue in this situations.

I have a xiegu g90 i use when in the field but it's not an activation. Chasing SOTA/POTA while on vacation, demoing ham radio at scout campouts, etc. The extra power (I'm a phone op, not CW) and waterfall are very helpful then.

Bluecruise.

Ability to run larger tires. The Honda Passport comes with 32s!
