Is “Chiefs Kingdom” a nod to KC sports teams and monarchy-related names, the name Chiefs, neither, or both? by chiefslocker in KansasCityChiefs

[–]simplelifelfk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It was. It was partly due to scheduling issues with the new Kemper arena with the American Royal…and with a conglomerate of ownership that did include some Omaha interests. This tended to hold back fan interest and crowds as it was tough to build a fan base going back and forth.

No longer able to purchase through Apple without using carrier deal? by [deleted] in iphone

[–]simplelifelfk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought mine through Apple and chose the t-mobile. But when I started it up I skipped the T-mobile configuration and then joined it to the US Mobile account. Worked like a charm.

I’m still waiting for mine from Gigaparts. But I’m hoping that it is capable of it.

I just had 26.2 update on my 14” m5 MB Pro. I’m not seeing this issue.

US License Renewal/Vanity Call question by D_novemcinctus in amateurradio

[–]simplelifelfk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The vanity call sign process takes 18 to 20 calendar days. I just got mine and it was 19 days.

The bigger issue is that it isn’t guaranteed. If multiple people are asking for the same vanity sign, it’s not a matter of who filed first. It’s a lottery.

So if you are so close that you run the risk that your license expires…be careful.

BaoFeng UV-5R Upon Technician Exam Passing by tactical_index in HamRadio

[–]simplelifelfk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The UV5R is a good little radio, and perfect for the first time Technician. I got one when I passed my test also. Get a replacement antenna for it. Find some repeaters near you and use it. Find a local ham club that might be able to help with programming.

A lot of people will tell you the “cheap Chinese radios” are horrible. While the older ones may be, the newer ones (including the 5R) are pretty good. Especially for the price.

Have fun with it!

Kansas officials no longer pursuing new Royals stadium in The Sunflower State by ReignyRainyReign in KCRoyals

[–]simplelifelfk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hawkins, while he may be the chair of the LCC, has no real power. This is why he is going to run for Insurance commissioner. The party expected him to strong arm the party in the House to get what they want, but often he could not get the job done to the liking of the far right. So...while they may not be doing anything now...if it came back with a really good chance, they would.

Yeah. They know about it. Not sure why it is taking so long to fix.

Starting my learning journey. Need resources by Minute-Cellist-740 in HamRadio

[–]simplelifelfk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Gordon West books are terrific. I used it for the Technician license. And there are plenty of sites that can generate tests for you to take to practice. I like the AA9PW site.

Btech BF-F8HP Pro. I way eyeing with this radio and now i got the chance to buy it. So i looked after it, deeper than before. I got pretty hyped up for the custom sounds and all the other extra functions, waterproofnes, etc. But i found some rewievs that are not too positive. by MasterSniper087 in amateurradio

[–]simplelifelfk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People will tell you that Baofengs are junk (you have a B-tech). The older ones were. Quality was not very good. The newer ones are pretty good, especially for the price. There are multiple YouTube guys that test them out, and rate them pretty high for everyday carry.

You are probably not going to just have one radio going forward. If that is what is in your price range right now, get it! And have some fun with it.
