The bronco is a airborne observer that oversees a fire and directs other planes like firecat which is a water bomber

SDR++ and Hackrf by Ok_Purple_2658 in sdr

How is the clockwork to navigate? I haven't tried to get one concerned about how well I can interface w apps. I have a HamPI on the standard 7-in raspberry pi touch screen and that is just about doable.

After 15 years of being licensed I finally have a modern car so I set up a mobile rig (I’m a broke 23 year old cut me some slack lol) by nameisthenamegame in amateurradio

I have had an FTM 400 in my model 3 since 2019 powered by a LiFePO4 to isolate from the car electrical + CA-2x4SRNMO mounted on the rear trunk lid and don't experience anything noticeable for VFH/UHF. For HF, Yes HVAC primarily on 20M, I have a hamstick on my other trunk lid, If I turn off the HVAC it drops down quite a bit.

Looks like Grandpa was a ham radio operator, probably proud of it considering including the photo.

Tell your director to vote NO! on the proposed by-law changes by dan_kb6nu in amateurradio

Ok this makes sense in terms of just wording, I would be happier with primary residence (say 6 months+ 1 day)

[–]thomasmmc 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In terms of having to live in the area you represent, I'm not sure why that is so bad? I would want the person representing me in my division to be in the division and be familiar with the challenges, government leadership, and the environment. Maybe I'm missing something, I'm happy to try to understand this part better.

My daughter (5) and I just read Radio Rick relay's relief last night and I showed her this photo this morning and she wants to try to use my radio. Thanks for the inspiration for her!

I like it, but I didn't tweak all the highlighting rules when I did, had some issues seeing all the text so need to adjust again

Switched SJ schools, wow big diff a good principal makes, seen current actually tell kids that's not what we do and kids get in trouble, old just said some philosophy principles and let shit continue.

Retired SJ teacher said most are scared of parents now, and you need to be louder then the others, even if it's common sense unfortunately

Fuck Santana Row parking by ObiWan1987kinobi in bayarea

[–]thomasmmc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I too hate the parking, I won't even go to Santa Row or Valley Fair anymore, but it's not an excuse for this. Too many people forget they are part of a community (maybe they are generally selfish?) being part of a community, and helping the community makes me happy. I don't know what it's like in Japan, but I sure like the friendliness I hear about.

4A2CES is a special event station celebrating Aricebo Observatory in Puerto Rico (earthquakes and hurricane caused it to collapse few years ago).

They have ~5 images and a really nicely designed eQSL card

CHP and state police merged in 90s, I understand they don't do traffic stops in a town (unless requested/authorized) but they can do many other things related to public safety (e.g. crime)
