You work too hard. Reward yourself. Get the Gren, the Conqueror, take a month or two off and tour North America. Treat She-Zimm to some fancy food in Montreal. Smell the roses. We're getting old...

@zimm --- it would look great behind a Grenadier...

Link to build thread: https://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/voyager-is-completed-build-thread.167460/ You're offering this a fantastic price, Doug; you're such a stand-up guy. Whoever gets it will make great memories. Give our love to your wife.

Dendy used to have one, Scott, and I fit in it. They're cool trailers. Did you get a new trailer, Dan? I haven't camped with you in ages. We're getting out next weekend, btw.

Man, it's been a minute. Harper's about grown up and the Teal ********** is gone...

I don't blame you for wanting to replace the H13 --- the single worst bulb foisted upon motorists in the modern era. Engineered (intentionally) to minimally compliant and enhance profits. They'll make a compliant LED drop-in eventually. Wish you were closer. I'd love to test those...

Curious what you've got for drop-ins. AFAIK there aren't any yet that are compliant with FMVSS-108. Phillips was close, and I think they had a compliant H4 for Europe, but only marking/signaling bulbs so far.

Posting the vid for reference. I haven't been there since Scott Fields passed away.

Pics?

I've been trying to find a 12v booster that covers B66 ---- my cel uses that the most. It's a newer band and nobody seems to cover it.

I noticed that on the specs. So if I get my wife one, her radio will be better than mine. sigh

Thanks, Dave. I had a Wouxun HT years ago ---- it mostly worked well but the receiver was funny and near-band strong signals splashed in like crazy. Did Wouxun get better since then? I lost the HT on a hike and switched to the bright orange/yellow Baofengs. Easier to spot in leaves...

I need a recommendation for a pair of full-power gmrs radios. I just got the license and want to use the radios primarily to keep in touch with the wife while camping in areas without cell service. She had stated that she wanted to get a ham license about 6 years ago --- yeah, that ain't...

3 burner 60,000 btu Stansport; I got it off Amazon for under $100 https://stansport.com/3-burner-propane-stove-212-300-50/ Nordic griddle sits perfectly on it; Walmart for $20. Great fried rice with 60,000 btu's under it. https://www.nordicware.com/products/backsplash-griddle/ Cuisinart...

It's not all about the 102. I got legit 17 mile tx from a motorcycle with a 2' whip on a walkie and a groundplane kit from Lafayette. An antenna is part of a system and is the sum of the components. Make it all work in harmony.
