This is still available, but now with a price drop. It's going on the local boards too. Get it while you can.

Weekend Bump. It's camping season y'all. :)

Bump to the top.

Bump for the 4th and a price drop. $5.5K FTF in Dallas, GA.

I once had a build thread on here before the photobucket fiasco where I refurbished and built up a Bantam T3C trailer for adventure camping. Here are some pictures of the finished product, which is now available. Mrs.Spark and I have really enjoyed this project, but we have decided to go a...

Hey all, I've been away for a while, but still living the dream. Owning your own business will keep you busy. Anyway, I have some items that really deserve use and I'm just not getting it done lately. I'm in the Metro Atlanta area and have the following items available. I don't know what...

I have some original parts from a Bantam T3-C trailer built in 1945. These were on trailer number 262. I modified the trailer and these are the leftover parts that I didn't use. Parts include: Wheels - Yes, they're the two piece combat type. Axle Foot Fulton Hitch Hardware I can send pictures...

146.805 +offset with 100hz PL tone. It is the KC4AQS repeater by call sign. Depending on your location and elevation, you have a good shot at hitting this repeater from many locations as far south as LaGrange from what I understand. Let us know if you get in from Stone Mountain.

I went to the Hamfest at Stone Mountain and picked up a Yaesu FT817 for cheep! I really lucked out cause the guy was packing up to leave. Just about missed it. I've got it set up and running on 2m and I'm gathering the parts for a fan dipole now. I got the RT programming software and I've been...

BTW: I put a Diamond X50 in the attic. I can hit the 955 machine in Dallas and a scratchy connection to the Repeater in Buckhead which is weird, since many repeaters are closer. I still can't hit the 805 in Jasper from the HT. Maybe once I'm running a higher wattage mobile or base.

Makings of a "Go Kit"... The lid's panel is removable. I have ideas and designs and thoughts, but no definite plan yet. I'd like to get something like a Yeasu 817 or similar for this setup. There is plenty of room for accessories. I'm still gathering intel and formulating plans.

2012s on the Mountain!

I was driving through CC the other day calling out on 2M Simplex and the Jasper 805 but couldn't catch you listening. Maybe next time. Do you have the Cumming, GA. 147.150 machine's pl tone by chance? The two listings I have gave 100 and 131.6 and neither are working for me.

Here is a picture of the antenna install. We put up the shorter one on the left.
