Yeah, I've been draggin my feet on an outside antenna for 220. I've just been playing with a role up j pole. This month I'll get a ground plane for 220.

I'm avoiding HF even though I'm a general.

[FIGHT ON]

Yea, and I need to get off my butt and mount an outside antenna one of these days. I also have my nice HF equipment sitting in a box, unpacked since we moved here. I know... I'm hanging my head in shame.

just tell me where the box is, I'll hike on over, put the box in your frige and move it outside!  (you said you only walk between the sofa and the frige!)

FO... welcome to the world of ham radio.
You got more plugs than anyone in the history of our net 

[FIGHT ON]

that was cool. nice to hear big John, forest gal and bob!
reception was at the worst a bit scratchy but just a few of those.
otherwise very clear! pretty darn cool. I guess when I get one it would be a relay of some sort to contact the big guy right?

Wait.. I thought Chuck had that honor. We are talking about hair plugs aren't we?

That was very cool! Thanks for all the plugs!!!!

I learned a lot. Thanks!

We checked in former Fire Chief Dennen for almost a year before he got his ticket. He would listen online, send me an email and we'd check him in.

So I got that kenwood radio. all charged up... never turned it on! Can I listen on that as well? What channel do I turn on?

[Wrightwood]

For the Table Mtn Repeater Net you'll need to set it to : 145.2800

For Simplex Net you'll need: 145.520

[FIGHT ON]

which band? a or b?

[Bob C]

Doesn't matter... your radio can monitor two independent frequencies at once

I can't find that channel. and I can't find the link to listen either! 

[Bob C]

Your radio has several different ways of programming frequencies. But in general, you want to read up on the "entering a frequency" portion of your owner's manual. Don't need to worry about assigning it to one of the radio's memory channels yet... just get the radio tuned to the correct frequency.

thanks Bob. I can't figure it out. I'll keep trying.
