    While I don't do this, those holding an Amateur Radio Technician
    Class license fly model aircraft, with the frequencies on the 6 meter
    band. At one of the area parks, a group gathers there on a weekly
    basis, to fly their planes out by the lake.

    It would be cool to have them join us here.

    I don't get on the air that much locally. The last several
    years, I'd be constantly interfered with, even if just passing
    routine traffic. There are several clubs in the central Arkansas
    area, but for years, there's petty bickering between each other,
    especially on "who does the better job during Skywarn Severe
    Weather". To me, in an emergency (i.e. a tornado outbreak, and
    we've had some of those in the region, such as on Jan. 21, 1999,
    with 56 tornadoes, most of those in just 6 hours), you need to
    drop all club affiliations, etc., and work toward passing traffic
    to aid in disaster recovery.

    I'm just 20 miles south of Tampa, and my understanding is that they get a LOT of
    lightning strikes. When Del Webb was planning out community, the study showed that it
    doesn't generally rain that much here so he called it Sun City Center. He was wrong!

    We have a volunteer Emergency Squad, and they can provide us with a 2-way radio for
    $15.00 in case of emergencies. That is the closest I will ever get to HAM, although we
    do have a Ham Radio club in our community. We are going to purchase the radio soon.
    It would be a great thing to have, as well as the battery-operated radio which we
    already have.

    I can see why you are so into HAM, living where you do. Have you had to use it for
    emergencies? I guess the answer would be a resounding YES.

    Always thought it would be fun to do, but too many hobbies and not
    enough time as it is! :-)

    Are my msgs not going out? I see them on my end, and I see you and others
    every few months or so post, but I never see replies to my questions.

    Thanks!

    It's what I've said about the Excel Spreadsheets of the selected D-Star, Echolink, and D-Rats Nets..."too many nets, too little time".

    I got a neat all-in-one charger that will charge/test/discharge a whole slew of RC batteries. Kinda fun!

    I also picked up a TANK (something I had always wanted since I was a kid) that shoots plastic BBs. It was fun but only lasted 2 battery cycles and the place I got it from (online Amazon) doesn't support it, so I will have to tear it apartand find out what happened. It actually acts like it lost TX/RX comms but there is no PAIR feature.
