Anyone else going? I should be there, assuming I don't piss away this paycheck.

Possibly. Depends on what these damn gas prices do between now and then.

Make sure you spend time with the wife first. I am sure you have the same un-clean feeling most of us experience after a stink fest.

Wouldn't want to miss the once-annual opportunity for :pussy: .

I guess I need to get off my ass and bring you a box too, don't I? You got any more of those compact units? I'm going to need all I can get my hands on... console should be going in the new truck in the next week or two.

And yes, I'll be at Belton. Anyone wanna coordinate common IMBE channels? How about 146.52 and 446.0? Bonus points for OFB? :baby:

I don't have a goddamn keyloader yet. :OSS:

But yeah, I'll be IMBE on BW1 in the car and analog portable. No UHF though, I usually park that on 462.575 to talk to the non-hams.

There have been a few 3011DXs go by on eBay in the last few days...

I'll be hiding on UHF, but I'll have the VHF somewhere... I think BW1 is still in there. I can't remember if it's set up for analog or astro transmit, however.

Terrible turnout. Guess that was to be expected post-hurricane, though.

I did make off with a SIU box, a VHF A7 Spectra, and about 130 feet of 1/2 in. hardline. Didn't make any contacts on BW1, analog or digital.
