A 900 on top of B of A? *nod* *nod* Will have to program that up and try it.

hmmm. 442.400+ 110.9 if its not busy. Its on the big hill so has good coverage.

Also need to set a time for dinner. Unless it has been set and I don't have
enough caf in the system yet to parse the thread properly.

From Plano Centre take US 75 south until you hit the Spring Valley exit, go right.

Friday or Saturday guys? Have to work so will miss the 'fest but can make dinner afterwards.

Unfortunately, I won't be making Hamcom or the dinner this year, too many folks taking summer vacations at work right now.

Maybe next go around.

Any of your guys have a Kenwoody TS-480? It has some remote base capabilities that may do what you want.

Nah, MO, you just have the suicidal tow truck whackers. Pretty much have to be to work your kind of traffic though.

Saw on the Tavern this morning that apparently Timmay has gone to a lawyer to get his "stolen" shirt back from the Lucas fire chief.

Um, good luck with that.

All I hope is that ...

Double that thanks for the nachos and queso.

That Flying Pig of theirs is a good sandwich even if it doesn't stay together well. :ham:

On the 900 side of things, here's a dump of the active repeaters from my spread sheet.


Output Input PL In PL Out Location Call

Alright I'll see you guys tomorrow night around 7:30 or so depending on whether or not I get out of the cage on time.

Thought I had tornado #2 of the year, and the chaser of a 70 mph blast of wind out of the squall was pretty intense. Way too much rain too.
I did learn that the Whelen Vortexes do in fact make enough noise to be heard in such conditions.

Haven't seen it blow or rain like that since the hurricanes ...

Finger memory == great loss.

My club (DCARA) is the one that has the 443.525+ machine, using 118.8. Good repeater but little use unfortunately.

The NT5NT 443.325+ PL 110.9 repeater is still nice and sensitive. Just barely have to touch the PTT on the MT2000 and it opens right up like it did ...

I'm working days now, so won't make Hamcom but should be able to make dinner like last year.

>1900 works best for me as I can't escape 0rk until after that.

I suppose the usual Bone Daddys with everyone meeting up on NT5NT 443.525+ 110.9?

Will watch the thread for something different.

Cowtown is indeed 2 years old. Not too many of us Denton peeps went last year due to some outstanding political issues with the hosts.

This time, I have to slave, so.. count me out this time guys. :cheeseandwhine:

The K5MOT folks are real low key and seem secretive, but they do remember us Part ...

Alrighty, I'll wander my way up 75 once I get off work. Hope its not too plugged up that time of day.
(Don't have my on the truck quite yet to clear things out )

fake edit: 442.400+ PL 110.9 for coordination like always, too, I suppose.

The thread has been pretty quiet. I still plan on being at Bone Daddy's a bit before 2000, unless work screws me over again.

Will monitor the thread.

-b-

Not going to HC, little spare $ and have to work, but 2000 sounds good, I'll be off and in search of a cold one by then.

Here's why Dave switched.

A given Fedora release has a much shorter release "half-life" (where you can get package updates) than Centos. Anything older than FC6 has no package updates any longer.

Updates are important when you are exposing services to the Big Bad h4x0r filled intertubes ...

I just now noticed that the Dstar users group meeting starts at 6 PM.

Any way we can back dinner up to 5 now so I can go to that?

If not thats OK.

What huh? Oh, yeah. Hamcom. Durrr.

I'll be out there pretty much all day Saturday.

No IMBE for me yet. :cheeseandwhine:

Best I can get is the cheap hamsexy imitation. at least I can monitor two freqs at once.

I do want to trade in my Jedis for some kit that speaka da P-25 pretty soon though ...

I'm not sure if I am going or not yet, gotta see how many days off I've got left first.

Silly work gets in the way too damn much lately (grumble) though I could do a lunch and just zoom down 75 and make it into work.

VX, you'll probably like Dstar. No, it's not Motosexy but if you can overlook ...

I hate it when this happens!

I finally put in an order for an ID-800 thinking it's the bomb diggety and guess what?

They turn around and announce the 2820h dual bander which is the Dstar mobile I was waiting for to begin with!

Hopefully HRO won't be too pissed off at me for cancelling the ...

The low-speed serial iinterface presented to your computer is selectable at 4800 or 9600 bps, N81 on a DB9. The pinout for the required serial cable to Mini-DIN can be found here:

The only yucky things about it is that there is NO error correction (like tvsjr ...

Looks like most of the hamsexyness was outside this year. I was roaming around quite a bit inside mostly. Tried to be low-key so I didn't end up on the front page myself.

I agree, it pretty much sucked this year.

Too many piles of junk, and no good deals at all to be found on new stuff. Heck ...

I'm going to have to decline dinner on Friday this time around gang, sorry.

Only can take 1 day off from work and am going Saturday.

Would much rather make fun of Hamsexyness than deal with people too stupid to use their own computers much less admin servers, not to mention stupid Cpanel ...

Hamcom's only Friday and Saturday this year, according to their site

I will probably be there Saturday.

I'd assume you're using *, correct?

If you are, look for providers that support IAX (Inter Asterisk eXchange) as that makes it MUCH easier to work with.

Also, avoid Broadvoice. I've heard nothing but bad about them. Support is non-existent and it's easier to cancel AOL than them.

LOL.

Gotta love it.

Scary thing is you KNOW Pat is lurking in the shadows (cue Jaws theme)

(I thought it was PJ that had the .sig about the Moto price book though...)

If I had known there were going to be some of the Batlabs crowd around I would have been sure to do that. Maybe I could have gotten some assistance with my GTX. Was really hoping to have it up and running before Hamcom but I appear to be getting the big fuck you on getting RSS for it. Gonna call M ...

I was listening on BW1 and didn't hear anything on it. Maybe I should have bought the longer antenna for the VX-2 sooner rather than later?

VX, were you the gentleman that had the stand of Spectras (vhf, uhf, and the two 800s)? The two MT(S?) portables went quick.

The classes kicked badondadonk ...
