    Casey, KA5WAX replied to the topic Shack in a Box presentation in the forum Group logo of GeneralGeneral 1 week, 4 days ago

    That was a fun presentation Bob, sorry I had to cut out before the grand finale.

    I have the gator 4 space rack you pointed out, and I’ve found that over time the case has warped. I left the lowest space open for ventilation, and perhaps that was a mistake.

    Currently I am eyeing a milk crate for my take on a shack in a box. I find myself moving…[Read more]

    aye, numeric dyslexia once again. Altho since that’s what got me into programming, which turned out fine, I can’t really complain.

    David, if you look at the SC4ARES repeater page ( http://www.sc4arc.org/repeaters/ ) you’ll see

    CMD33 (KD6KGE) 442.3250 MHz(+) CTCSS:141.3

    which is also in the 2019 San Mateo County Sherrif’s Ham Plan

    and perhaps they are all … wrong?! I’ll give it a shot later.

    Thanks Peter for the context re KD6KGE’s state.
    I had thought JH had been up there doing something, but sometimes there is more looking than doing. Or the perfect is the enemy of the good. or I am the walrus. I think JH sprung for the new door after the break-in? so much mythology and turf over here.

    David, interesting on KD6KGE. TBH I haven’t pinged it since fall. But I thought it at least had an ack beep.
    oh wait, at 2:26 as I write this it just IDed.
    hmm. 141.3 right? I just heard a low signal quality tx.

    ok I’ll file this into ‘mysteries for later today’and may try some radios up in the garage while I am doing ‘chores’

    Hi folks,

    According to CalOes power is out for about 700 folks down here, and while the cause is currently unknown the estimated time for power restoration is 6pm.

    That may be enough time for the Cell towers to go down along the coast. Dunno the current state of affairs WRT the battery backup in the towers.

    The CMD31 Link from Ranch is still…[Read more]

    Hi Pat;

    is it safe to assume that this is / has gone out to the True CERTS™ down in the Canyon? As y’all may of followed we have CERTS and BERTS, BERTS being helpful folks but variously trained and certified.

    if not, shall I pass it along?

    thanks for putting this together.

    Hi, I hope to drop buy for a bit, sorry about the late notice.
    I’ll skip the white elephant as I have many dear white elephants already and have moved out to the doghouse as a result.

    here’s the zoom info for the this week’s FireSafe

    The Fire Safe San Mateo County meeting will be held virtually for the month of December via Zoom videoconferencing. The meeting will be 9:30 – 11:00am, December…

    Interesting points. here’s a discussion from elsewhere:
    https://www.qsl.net/kg6djo/CERTComm/PressRoom/ARES_RACES_and_CERT_Comm.html

    if we’re unlucky enough to have to deal with lots of other volunteer groups it’ll behoove us to have this all dialed in.

    catching up = Neil I will be sure to do that next time. the crew was stretched out, which
    was a good exercise itself. We jumped back between the BU-n GRMS channels, CMD31, and CMD31D,
    as listeners may of noticed.

    And thanks all for chiming in when you could.

    We also managed to get some traffic through our dorky GRMS repeater once we were

    Thanks Peter, that’s very easy to understand. It’s a keeper. I’m now motivated to start checking out
    how CMD33 would work as I am wandering around down here.

    May I share this overview with our Butano group, as much as for licensing inspiration as anything? With attribution of course, but perhaps no email addr so you are not awash with more…[Read more]

    Hey folks, heads up.

    Some Butano CERTs are taking a merry tour out of the Shire the Canyon tomorrow morning early. 2 of us are hams, and 2 licensed GMRS users, and I hope we’ll be checking coverage on CMD31 and our Butano GMRS repeater from the Ranch Road areas. I expect it to mostly work modulo terrain specifics.
