As you can all guess, this trip was inspired by the "best ghost towns of UT" thread. In that discussion, someone mentioned Eureka. He said it wasn't actually a ghost town, "but it might as well be." Curious, I went searching for more info. Eureka came into being during the 1860s, though it...

Hmm, perhaps a single band unit will be just fine after all. I really don't envision myself becoming any sort of ham radio "nut" anyway; it is reassuring to hear feedback from you guys. Financially, it would be great to stick to single band. For example, here are online prices for three Yaesu...

I received my license in the mail yesterday. :cool: I was still hoping a few others (Brett, Marc, etc) might chime in on the single band/dual band debate.

My wife will certainly agree with you! I am not--just a stock setup.

When I upgraded to my 4" lift and 35" tires last year, I also installed a heavy duty tie rod (I don't know what brand--Matt got it for me). Since installing it, I have managed to bend it... twice... so now I'm about to replace it with a new one. This time around, I am installing a V8 ZJ tie...

Hmm. http://www.ghosttowngallery.com/htme/eurekaut.htm I'm off work tomorrow. I just might drive down there and have a look.

This. I have never installed shock boots on any of my Jeeps, and I've never had a problem with them.

Oh, okay. I misunderstood; I thought you were offering one fill-up discount on the spot and that was all. I'll have to see if I can make it up there when you are on site.

Can we make it our next RME project? :D

mbryson has begun a conversation elsewhere proposing to run HITR in October, specifically from the 16th to the 19th. I have arranged to get this time off work and have expressed my interest in going, but last night my wife said she and I need to sit down and plan out every proposed trip/time off...

Damn--I wish the Suburban needed gas. :(

Using the same rating system, what would you rate Constrictor? In other words, how do the two compare?

I'm not at work yet, so I can't print this out... but I just ran an AutoCheck on that VIN for you. There are 12 registration reports, but they are all completely normal. Absolutely nothing that would raise a red flag. It's been an Ogden car its entire life. If you absolutely must see the...

Correct.

I am Dempsey Bowling, and I approve this message.

When I have watched meteor showers in the past, it has NEVER been a formal theater-type experience. To use your terminology, it is much more like a backyard BBQ event. There is typically constant chatter/banter throughout (since there is no meteor dialogue to interrupt) provided it is at a...

I have no problem with kids being there (even though I have none of my own). However, would they be old enough to appreciate the situation? An 8-yr-old should be no problem, but wouldn't a 2- or 3-yr-old be bored out of their mind? All we'll be doing is sitting in lawn chairs (or lying on a...

UPDATE Well, we are just over a week away from the big event. Assuming no precipitation and few clouds, I am guaranteed to be there. Anybody else? There are usually other people that congregate in/near the 5MP parking lot, so I am willing to head around the corner to the parking lot at the...

Same here--I failed the General exam with flying colors. :D But I didn't care one bit. Congrats on earning your Technician license!

Yeah, pretty much. That page says one symptom of vitamin D deficiency is muscle twitching. When I read that, this was the first thing I thought of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ir1rzzGugIU :D
