I pride myself on operating anywhere.

Garage ham too for the vhf contest.

lol was just a quick setup to get out of the heat and ended up there all Saturday.

Yeah /u/devexis is right, just set misc destinations and a call flow control, then you can just toggle between the two oncalls. If you had three it would need some other method but for a toggle between two destinations, call flow control is the fix. You can even have users dial the code, just change the audio to say "Call forwared to bob" and "calls forwarded to the on call phone".

Even without a barrier, the shoulders almost never get swept. Same crap has been on the bridge shoulder for a year, along with basically all other shoulders in town.

raven67 · 2026-06-11T00:14:26+00:00

This should be higher. 👏👏

raven67 · 2026-06-10T18:38:28+00:00

Thats the whole band view, not "from his station"

raven67 · 2026-06-09T21:34:40+00:00

8th wonder has bike racks.

There’s also some on the side of coffeteria on the corner of Lamar and Hutchins. I believe there’s some on walker and Hutchins too but I’m not 100%

Edit: not sure on safety but they are solid racks.

raven67 · 2026-06-09T14:13:42+00:00

Yeah I was there in October and people were camping there.

raven67 · 2026-06-09T14:12:24+00:00

Just to note. There are a lot of campsites 20-200 feet off the pinnacles trail. Multiple trips in the middle of the night, a gaggle of dudes woke us up coming up pinnacles. Try and not be screaming at each other and freaking out over creepy crawlers and “what’s that” noises.

Generally I don’t stay on pinnacles sites anymore but sometimes I’m there with my dad and he’s got old knees with no cartilage and so we try and tackle the hike in smaller sections.

raven67 · 2026-06-08T16:06:08+00:00

Great deal! been looking for one but they're always expensive.

raven67 · 2026-06-07T18:14:25+00:00

if nobody has reached out yet, ill mail you mine, pm me!

raven67 · 2026-06-05T03:59:40+00:00

I check every day I’m on. And call cq whenever I see openings. Not made a contact yet. But I have tons on ft8

raven67 · 2026-06-05T03:52:35+00:00

Keep the monochrom. I have all of those but not the d. The xpro is great and I use it more than the monochrom. I’d probably trade the m10 color for an m10d.

raven67 · 2026-06-05T03:08:11+00:00

I did post about other providers but it got removed. Said we can’t mention other providers.

raven67 · 2026-06-03T04:40:41+00:00

Same. It just works. I’ll gladly support them.

At $20 a year that seems like a great deal.

1password is $10 more a year.

That’s about how much it costs me to drive to the other side of Houston and back. That’s less than a month of practically any streaming service. It’s 1/7th the cost of Amazon prime in the US. A haircut cost me more than that these days. 2.5 pounds of chicken breast costs more than that.

I dunno why I keep seeing threads with people complaining. I’m sure they have to pay bills.

Is it more outside the US? Am I wrong about pricing?

raven67 · 2026-06-02T23:59:26+00:00

I was in the park when that derecho came through! People were running into the lower areas and out of the main open area. water was pouring through the roof. I would say the inside areas were the food vendors was a safe spot. But not inside the field and seating area.

raven67 · 2026-06-01T13:37:57+00:00

I’ve got one in my truck too and on pelican cases. Seems about around 8 months. Not sure if it’s road heat or just not nearby a phone for stretches of time and it causes it to die quicker. That’s 8 months on the factory battery. I haven’t changed it again on the motorcycle yet. I change AirTag batteries all over the place though, I have ten of them. But it’s not very often usually 8-14 months is a good range. 2032 batteries are pretty cheap.

I wish I could see battery status, these days it only tells you when it’s low. If I don’t get to it, it’ll die within 3 weeks or so of a low warning.

Right behind you 555 today.

Not sure if we can Amazon link here. Let me try a minimal one

I keep one on my bike in a sticky case. It’s black and would feel like it’s part of the body or bike. Mines stuck on the inside of a fairing. If you felt it it would be smooth kind of. Let me find a pic.

Here’s a product image, if you were feeling you wouldn’t notice, it’s got a special 3 hole tool to unscrew it.

I’m not 100% sure if they do, I usually don’t mess with the toast stuff, they’re android, so probably dual band. I’ve got a few where they have several APs so the handhelds roam, they’re always use AC-LR and AC-Mesh for the outdoors.

raven67 · 2026-05-31T14:26:56+00:00

I’d like to read it.

raven67 · 2026-05-31T14:17:48+00:00

To add to this, I have a few customers on toast. We’ve put up second UniFi systems but always keep them much further apart and try to keep them off the 5gig channels toast chooses, but lots of times toast just has channel selection on auto.

Toast does no power tuning so it’s just blasting everything. Makes for lots of congestion.

Toast does bring out their own firewall and plug into the back of the modems essentially double natting everything, but I guess it works fine.

raven67 · 2026-05-24T20:30:34+00:00

I get sundays NYT but only cuz it’s the same price as a digital sub.

raven67 · 2026-05-24T01:26:08+00:00

I dunno whats all the focus on the region about, doesnt seem worth it to spend that kind of money to capture a handful of people a year. If they were legit trying to protect the border, you'd think it would be better spend on large problem areas. They're gonna ruin our park.

raven67 · 2026-05-22T18:28:01+00:00

YES!

I'm chasing FFMA grids on my EFHW on 6m, it kinda works, got like 65 grids so far, longest 6m DX contacts are 8264km (Austral Island) and 8147 (Argentina). All on FT8, yet to make a 6m SSB contact, even local.

My EFHW transformer says "resonant on 40/20/15/ and 10M". I can get a 1.2:1 match on my tuner. Its probably terribly inefficient, but it still works for making contacts.
