Temps in the 50's today. 60's tomorrow. I gotta pull the drums off the trailer I got from T-bro and service the bearings and brakes, make sure e'rrything's good. Only day I can do that is tomorrow, after work. Need to use it on Saturday to get a buncha ham radio stuffs from a silent key.

My ham radio friend retired from IBM back in 1999, he had his sights on a new Cadillac, went to Thompson and left after walking around the lot for 20 minutes. Went to Deacon Jones and the manager walked out and greeted him by name, he sold him his first Cadillac years ago.

I’ve just seen this episode for the very first time…..wow. That was great stuff. Anyone else a fan? submitted by /u/menasor36 to r/Frasier [link] [comments]

I got my technician's ticket punched last month, and have been getting to know regional 2m/1.25m/70cm repeaters. Last night, I joined a large regional 8pm net where the net control made a few opening remarks asking who was watching the Turning Point USA halftime show and announcing that February marks the opening of gun show season. Is this normal? submitted by /u/NekkedMoleRat to r/amateurradio [link] [comments]

With more and more threats to every day freedoms, and as shown in Iran blacking out the internet, or with outages like Verizon (USA), Rogers (Canada), taking out entire networks across nations, we need alternate means of contact across 100s of miles. Ham radios require a relatively easy to get license to operate, and the radios themselves can be picked up on Amazon for as low as $50. submitted by /u/kryo2019 to r/LifeProTips [link] [comments]

Edit: also why can people get it on their vehicles license plate? submitted by /u/tylerjs8 to r/explainlikeimfive [link] [comments]

Ever wondered why people still bother with ham radio when everyone’s got a smartphone and Starlink? It’s not nostalgia, it’s purpose. When everything else drops, cell phones, power, internet a ham rig keeps working. No contracts, no cloud, no permissions. You’re the infrastructure. It’s also the best hands-on classroom you’ll ever find for antennas, RF, and off-grid communication. You learn by doing, building, testing, fixing, failing, and finally hearing that first call sign come back from 2,000 miles away. For a lot of us around Huntsville and North Alabama, it’s also about community. Weekly nets, field days, portable operations, everyone from engineers to students helping each other stay sharp and connected. If you’ve been thinking about getting licensed or just want to understand why this hobby still thrives, I wrote a full piece breaking it all down no fluff, just straight insight. 👉 Read the full article: What’s the Point of a Ham Radio?

Just got someone transmitting on Ch 1 with their bandwidth set too wide bleeding into our local repeater’s input frequency causing all kinds of interference. No one cares if you program the GMRS frequencies into your $20 HT, heck, we don’t even really care that you’re blasting out 5W on a 0.5W frequency, but at least get the bandwidth settings right. Ch 8-14 sit right in between the repeater inputs with no room to spare. submitted by /u/Hot-Profession4091 to r/gmrs [link] [comments]

My Dad was a long time ham. He passed away a number of years ago and I finally had an opportunity to try and understand the fests, field days, repeaters, bands, Q codes, 73s and why everything has at least 3 names. So I dusted off my old signals, electronics and electromagnetics texts. I studied online. I acquired my Technician license and eagerly dove into this new hobby. As I was refreshing my memory about currents across capacitors, something seemed off. I had that feeling again as I was surrounded by a countrywide VE team in a multi-camera live Zoom session on the web. I had no more than passed my exam when I was being encouraged to pursue my general license. I hadn't even made my first call -- why do I need a General? With my new HT, an abundance of enthusiasm, repeaterbook.com and CHIRP, I started the journey. I set my scan lists, made my radio checks, had a couple replies, but mostly I heard silence. That wasn't really entertaining, so I read up on echolink, got it set up on my PC and phone and linked into some stations in Europe. Surely there must be something going on there. Or not. After a few days of texting and agreeing on a time, I connected with a family member via echolink. They complimented the quality of my signal, as did the guys in North Carolina watching DUI arrests on Saturday. I could only think, of course it's a great signal… I'm on my Samsung phone. (If I call you it will be faster. And even clearer.) As I dug deeper into this art with an average licensee age of 68, the doubt started to creep in. This doesn't make sense. I'm using all this current century technology to try and make this radio stuff work. More and more, I found fragmented or abandoned protocols. 404 errors from dead pages with authors who had also passed. Company after company online with web 1.0 pages saying they've closed up shop. But there's always one constant: The "sad ham" chiming in on every forum question to remind the OP that whatever he/she was looking to do is illegal and requires a license. Got it. Like a thousand times. And then it hit me. THAT's the hobby. It's not the communication. It's not the tinkering. The ham hobby is now this endless rabbit hole of misinformation, stale links, outdated solutions and fragmentation that makes the iOS/Android and flavors of Linux debates look downright organized and methodical. It's trying to make old stuff work, while dependent on the web to figure it out. It's dealing with that guy that never answers the questions asked in forums, but replies only to say you shouldn't be trying something new. And it's illegal. But he paid the $35 and has a ticket, so he's a real ham that knows better. I should acknowledge that I have learned that Echlolink isn't "real" ham. Real ham requires a stack of radios, in varying states of disrepair, and an occasional repeater beep to say, "I'm still here, even though no one is listening." No internet. Shack strongly encouraged. I started this journey because of my Dad and this other desire to understand why every band requires it's own hardware. And desk charger. Air, Marine, FRS, GMRS, MURS, Ham, single band, multi-band, portable, mobile… It's 2023. Even Apple is using USB-C. And for all my multimeter studying and picofarad conversions, why don't we have a decent radio on a stick? I did discover that Quansheng seems to be headed in a good direction for a new century: Customizable, open source firmware, multiband receiving that can be updated with a browser in a cheap box. That's potentially still interesting. Even though, say it with me, it's probably illegal. As the new year approaches and you find you might have time for a new hobby, I'm writing to suggest Amateur radio may not be it. A recent contact in London said it best, "Ham radio is dead." I'm also wondering about the origin story of HAM as well. Three dudes setting up a station in a Harvard courtyard? More like three guys studying Latin. hamus - meaning your cheap Chinese radio sucks. And it's probably illegal. Cheers, 73, YMMV and Merry Christmas. submitted by /u/Chasing_PAI to r/amateurradio [link] [comments]

This mind set has made Ham radio out side of preparing for a disaster meaningless. If you get into a discussion they say it’s not appropriate or get all upset because you don’t have the lingo down for ham radio. Every website looks like it was using netscape on windows 97. My god I’m 52 and why even have a radio system that the only thing you can hear about is weather ( you can get that anywhere or I’m mobile and I’m almost there) or radio test how is my signal. I got my license in 2020 during covid I tell you it’s pretty much useless out side prepping. I could be fun but these people make It hell and boring. submitted by /u/spbryantusa to r/HamRadio [link] [comments]

I'm sure I'm going to upset a lot of HAM operators out there, but I hope to at least hear the discussion. Downvote if you must. In the "Lessons form Nashville" thread, a poster mentioned they inherited alot of HAM gear from their passed father. I've had doubts about the HAM system's usefulness in the IMMEDIATE aftermath of a true SHTF scenario (one of the big ones) as I believe there is a lot of HAM gear out there in the wild and in the possession of people who have absolutely no training in the proper/orderly use of the airwaves as the system is designed for. I would imagine that in a scenario where there was no internet, no phones, no commercial radio/TV/etc. that there would be hundreds if not thousands of people rushing to power up their Dad's or Grandpa's old radio set that has sat untouched since their death and flipping switches, turning dials randomly and blasting out cries for "HELP!" and "Is anyone out there?" and otherwise just broadcasting nonsense. Granted as things go on, and time passes, the HAM community that is left might be able to convince people to calm down and clear the air, but there will still be a lot of people who bought/found/or otherwise stumble across HAM gear and start randomly broadcasting gibberish or even worse, just flooding the zone unintentionally (or intentionally). I really would like to hear people thoughts on this. ​ PLEASE NOTE: I am not criticizing or saying that HAM skills are bad or should be ignored, I think they likely will be of critical importance in the medium and long term, I just wonder what people think about the chaos of the short term and HAM's potential disruption vs usefulness. submitted by /u/InfidelsRock to r/preppers [link] [comments]
