SO cool! I get down there now and again! Will have to let you know and I will bring my drop spindle! Maybe do a trade if my garden grows good!

Tigger, as I am just getting started, I am the wrong one to ask! If you ask in the communications forum, you will get an answer, but I can tell you from what I have learned so far, much of it simply depends on various factors. I would also look at the aarl site, ton of info and good books.

Yeah I get my starter ticket for Ham radio next month, and these that I have will cover the 2meter freq and then some.

Idrankwhat- Wanted to know how easy it is to get ahold of software and cable to program and open up two HT 750’s from Motorola. I use to use them for work I did in the private sector. Thanks.

I dont know, I am for it! Where, is I think what we should decide first, then when, and if your not going chime in. I can be emailed direct at mtjoe@nemont.net

Hello again Bert! mtcarl is pretty active on the board here, and he and I have been talking about a spring get together. I sent you my private contact info as well Bert.

mtcarl, Have I sent you my contact info yet? I do not recall! 😕

Great info Rod, thanks!

I am so new to ham radio that I have moss behind my ears! I am getting my tech lic in april when the testing rolls around, and trying to decide what gear to buy. I want something that as I increase lic level I will be able to continue to use. Is there a radio out there that eill allow me to do that?

I had no idea about gmrs, oh well. I am getting my ham ticket in april, and studying hard. I also will be posting some hand held rechargeable radio’s from Motorola for sale on the board under the for sale/trade area this evening. Right now I have to go enjoy my birthday with some pals!

djinco, welcome, and I think you will find we all know a little about a lot, but each have our strengths and weaknesses. We are regualr folks from all walks of life and back ground. Glade you found us!

I do know somebody needs to take Kymber’s computer away, lol

I thought I was rusty, but it turns out it was arthritis, LOL

I had a mix of feelings about the show. Some bad and some good. Very interested in the gas-wood thing. Would be neat to learn and run a truck on!

Oh, no, I eat wild game daily! I wont eat store bought canned meat, with all the stuff the inject into the food supply, I will take alfalfa and weat fed deer all day!

Great article, I have just got the green light from the state to go after five more one tail deer, and will want to can the meat, I am out of freezer space! I have a brand new pressure canner never used as the wife is scared of it, so it will become my domain. Add to that, I know what is in the meat, and where it came from, not like meat in a…[Read more]

I also hope that all of the MT people can go, but frankly, will take what I can get! I am just excited about the networking and idea exchange! I will send you a PM with my contact info as it seems you and I are the most active so far, lol

Carl, I dont care when it is, I do have a test this April on the 3rd for a HAM radio Lic. other than that I think I am free, I just want us all to get together and get to know each other, and maybe in the long run we can work out some mutual aid!

Has it all been given away? Or can I still enter?

I simply do not have an outside date. My goal is to continue to stockpile, plan, and train as much as possible until I need to put plans into action. I really do wish I had like minded folk closer, and willing to band together. I simply do not see a single family unit being able to do it all.

I will add that they are easy to learn and use. Living in Montana I have the option of doing some hunting, and the possibility of looting. So I have the right gun for the area I live in. Not to mention, living as far North as I am, I am doubtful a Lot of big city folk will come up here and try to make it. I do wonder if some will try to make…[Read more]
