HEY

I missed you fuckers.

Good turnout but the pickin's were slim... no real good commercial junk to be had at all. I came home empty-handed.

DOO EEEET

Also I have a spare Quantar I might drag up for on-site whackery.

Good to get to see Jonathan and Mongo (who actually bought more crap than I did) again. Friday and Saturday were solid showings, but a lot of people didn't go back on Sunday (myself included... I spent the day across town with the weeaboos.) Highlights of the weekend for me included photobombing the...

Will you or Rick be at the fest at all?

Also I'll be hanging out on 441.100 DMR for the weekend.

I would prefer Friday night since Friday at the 'fest is only a half-day and I'm less likely to be a sweaty tired wreck, and since it looks like it's just us, Friday night it is! 7:00 or 8:00 is fine, either one works for me. The schedule is weird this year... 4 hours on Friday then full days on Sat...

Y'all should really come out this year. No particular reason why.

Had to work today but I'll be at the fest tomorrow. Can't stick around for dinner tho, I have to be back in H-town by Sat night.

Missed seeing you at the 'fest Craig. Give the Lurker my greetings too next time y'all talk to him. What a logistical clusterfuck. At one point a HamCom staffer came up to me in the mud pit... er, tailgate lot and asked me who was assigning spots because she herself did not know. And by the time I l...

Squatting at Jon's spot inside, got rained out lolol. There is a vendor selling custom showers in the commercial section. I am dying of irony.

1900 for dinner work for everyone?

Danke guys... see y'all tomorrow!

Anyone want an APX XE mic head? I've got about 10 of them.

Stuff... happened, and I will only be able to make the 'fest on Saturday. Probably won't be in town in time for dinner on Friday. I'd love y'all forever if we could move it to Saturday night but I understand if peoples' schedules are set.

Still gonna have a tailgate spot tho.

...and in a surprise turn of events I will have a spot at the outdoor tailgate. Come buy the rest of my old repeater crap!

I'm guessing turnout is going to be a little light this year, seeing as how several of the hotels still have rooms and there are still table spaces available.

Look at all this wonderful crap y'all could've bought off of me at Belton!


Not planning on having a table at HamCom, still planning on being there.

Good to see they finally caved in to the rabble and allowed tailgating again. HamCom without the parking lot might as well have been Belton (where all the tailgaters ended up going anyway.) And speaking of the other Texas 'fest, I will be attending that one as well and will have a flea market space....

Btw Mong... if I go and you don't show I WILL find you and I WILL kill you.


the means srs business

Well fuck. I was leaning towards not going since the new venue sucks donkey balls... but if Mong's gonna drag his ass out I guess I have to go.

Last year was me, Rick, and Craig at Bone Daddy's.

Talked to Jon, he's down for an "appearance" at dinner. I'll go ahead and put us down for 5.

Not much to be had honestly. Zero repeater stuff. Guess people didn't feel like lugging MSR and MSFs off the trailer inside. And really, $5 to park in the dirt? [/cheapham]

Have not heard from Mr. VX. Don't know if he got a table, they went pretty quick.

I'm right across the street at the "preferred accommodations" so I'll see y'all in the morning. Will be monitoring the usual freqs (146.495, 151.88.) 7:00 PM at the usual location is the plan at this time.

Oh shit you guys are still alive?? I was beginning to think this would be a wash. I did end up cross-posting this to the FB group and they had nothing constructive to add (as expected) so at this point I'm going with the usual location at the usual time for dinner. I will be in town for both days ar...

So the move to Irving has kind of thrown a wrench into the works. Bone Daddy's is now clear across the world as is the NT repeater. I was considering bringing the Quantar back but with the parking situation in kind of a flux I don't know that I'd be able to park someplace with enough room for a prop...

Isn't "creeper" kinda the SOP there?

I prefer to be part of the solution and not part of the problem; ergo I do my part by showering daily, applying deodorant, not dressing like a homeless person, and not taking obvious candid shots of vendor ladies with massive jubblies.

Oh and the NT repeater is back on the air. 443.325+ NAC 293 / PL 110.9 I'll be monitoring mixed mode (but don't expect me to reply in analog) :ham: Did you catch the guys running crypto on Saturday? :xls: Also, some of y'all really, really need to get your radios aligned. Come see me on Friday next...

kv5e wrote:...Bone Daddy's Again?

Friday at 7:00 is the plan. Gotta get my yearly dose of Story Time with Mong.

EchoStink is so mid-2000s anyway. AllStar is where it's at now.

27249 here, in case any of y'all are so equipped.

June 13-14 in case Googling is hard. https://www.hamcom.org/

Capt. Doritos and the Cy-Fair crew will not be in attendance this year so dinner will be slightly less rowdy.

While I can't speak to this specific Kirisun model, their others are essentially welfare Baofengs. Or to put it another way, they'd be right at home in Harbor Freight. Yaesu had one of their "C$FM FDMA" radios on display at HamCom. There was no accompanying documentation, ad slicks, or anything in t...

Conspicuously absent in the above pic is my boss, his son, the other third of our radio shop, Capt. Doritos, and my lowband TK-190.

If by that you mean Ain't I Damn Sexy, then yes, yes I have.

Some people you just can't take anywhere.

Here's this.

7:30 PM dinner time. Told them 12 people so we should be good.

Wideband, full encode & decode. 10W GR1225 and a RTCM connected back to the mothership through a Cradlepoint and Verizon, so Obama and Holder are listening in. Will be monitoring in mixed mode (NAC 293), plus NT5NT, BW1, 146.52, and Green (151.88) in analog and P25. If anyone wants to play on 10-met...

I will be on the above-mentioned portable repeater (444.7 pl 100.0) at the 'fest itself. As for talk-in for Friday dinner, I think we all know where it is by now. But I guess I could be persuaded to scan a few extra channels. My boss and our other partner in crime likely won't be P25-capable so :bab...

So in a crazy and unexpected turn of events I think my new boss might make an appearance at dinner on Friday.

Still trying to get a consensus on the repeater freq, but it could still fall on either 444.7 or 444.75.

My coworkers who have access to myriad APXes and a smattering of the Kenwood LMR catalog all have Baofengs, and they all love them. I don't get it. They don't even do CTCSS/DCS search.

Also FYI, the aforementioned porta-peter will be AllStar linked back to H-town.
