Probably not if you figure in Alaska.

Yeah, I've thought about seeing if there is an ARRL award for most hams per capita. Problem we're not a city so it's tough to quantify.

I have a question.  I notice operators often check in for other operators - spouses, I would assume.  What is the purpose of checking in if you're not actually checking in personally?  If my daughter is at work, should I check in for her?

Cathy,
Courtesy checkins are helpful in showing a persons interest in the communications Net. When someone has a conflicting schedule, doing an early or late checkin, by email or by another person is helpful to show intent.

We are very pleased with the continuing interest in our Disaster Preparedness Net. We've felt from the beginning that having flexibility would be a key element in keeping  the Net fun and interesting.

Ahhh, thank you for clearning that up.  Since we both are interested, I'll check in for her when she's unavailable.

The antenna he is using (a 3/8 wave ground plane) has better gain and is less effected by surrounding objects than a J-Pole. Jack just lives in a location that is not good for TMO which has avery narrow path path into the LA basin and only works well away from the mountains. Even a yagi would not do Jack much good.

Jack,
It was amazing on how well that new J-pole worked from El Monte today  :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:
