    I just tuned in after a long lay off and will be interesting to follow your new adventures. I am sure the food will be better unless you always eat on base...The best food I ever had was Hickam Field in Hawaii.

    The Ham Radio Thread

    I was able to check in to the net 146.760 this Wednesday but evidently not too strong a signal. I had my J pole clamped into a vice in the garage and the SWR was above 2.0. My mag mount was reading above 1.5 so I have some matching work to do. I took a sample test and only got 14 right which...

    The Ham Radio Thread

    I did not try - until the very last and was to late. My old Realistic is supposed to put out 5 W with a full 12 v input. and I think it would be enough to reach the repeater. Had no problem listening even to some of the weak signals. I should be able to monitor later today and see if I am...

    Who owns a new Jeep Cherokee?

    Garmin works, Jeep is great. My problem is read the instructions stupid. Need to get more off road experience and learn how to use things. Getting old has made me less patient. I need things to be self explanatory .

    Best GPS for backcountry/4x4 use?

    Had problems turning it on and off so I called and they had me do a so called hard start, hold the on button down for 10 or 12 seconds, and sent me a 110 adapter. It only came with a 12 volt adapter.

    Help me decide I want a mid-size SUV

    As I learn the idiosyncrasies of the Cherokee I really love to drive it. Besides the 22.8 city and 32.8 highway it is just fun to drive.
