Re: It's already March.. no HamCom thread yet? (June 8-9)
I made sure I got both days off. I look forward to spending money foolishily at the swap meet. If anyone sees a 900 MHz HT, please let me know. I need Skywarn refresher too.
So are we using Jon's (NORTEL) repeater, besides the usual simplex freq?

Re: Obligatory HamCom Plano thread (10-11 JUN)
So do we have a consensus on the repeater? If no one else chimes in, I'll declare a dictatorship and say we use Richardson's 442.800 110.9 for dinner coordination/regular BS outside of simplex range. I'll reserve a table for 10 at Bonedaddy's for 8pm. If anyone I have not mentioned in my previous po...

Re: Obligatory HamCom Plano thread (10-11 JUN)
Well I tested the above-mentioned Carrollton and Cedar Hill machines with an HT from inside my car at Plano Center. I couldn't bring either of them up with 2 watts. However, the Richardson machine on 442.800 110.9 worked well.

Re: Obligatory HamCom Plano thread (10-11 JUN)
The repeater should be accessible by an HT from within Plano Center. 442.400 is in Cedar Hill but I was surprised to see that I could key it on the HT in my apartment. 'Course, Cedar Hill is premium real estate for repeaters. Perhaps I'll make a run out to Plano Center this week and test some repeat...

8 pm works for me. I can make the reservation but I'll need a head count. So far we have myself, Victor Xray, Otaku, Mong x2, kv5e x 2, rdwilson x2 & kd5wyu. That's 10 so far, unless I miscounted.

Re: Obligatory HamCom Plano thread (10-11 JUN)
927.5125 156.7 ? I'm not familiar with any such repeater. However, the best-coverage machine on 900 is now on top of the green building on 927.0625 DPL 432. Incredible coverage but sadly, almost never used. Nevertheless, we certainly do need to agree on a 2m or 70cm repeater for when we're not with...

Re: Oak Creek, WI Fest - July 6
Hmmm.... a hamfest on 4th of July weekend.
About as smart as scheduling Ham-Com on Father's Day weekend.
What can I say? All ham clubs I've come into contact with have their meetings on weekday (work) nights. I guess it fits the ham tradition of picking the worst times for EVERYTHING.
