If you did some DNS related work you either goofed it or the update is still spreading to other servers. This is what I EDIT:was getting from your website... looks good now.:

If you do end up able to hit it, make sure to read through the club's IRLP guidelines. https://www.leara.org/repeaters/irlp (assuming you're trying to hit the Lakewood one). There's also an IRLP how-to on that page. Hope you get in! You'd be our first non-Bay check-in. :D

So, I don't really have a "ham shack" to keep my gear in at my house. The box is just a convenient way to have it all in one place that I can move around and set up/take down quickly. The wife has also talked about using it as a base station when we go on trips should she want to stay at camp...

Running net control at the kitchen table. 7 check-ins this week, which seems to be about par. Had a nice chat with everyone. Few returning, few first times. Looking forward to next week!

We've got an iCal you can subscribe to! Has 30min and 5min notifications! :D https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/8js46v4hhbpc1gttu9bdh7ldvs%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics

Have you tried hitting the one in Lakewood? I know it's about 40 miles away... https://www.repeaterbook.com/repeaters/details.php?state_id=39&ID=7360 Unfortunately there's no other way to use IRLP besides through a repeater. :(

Hey everyone! Here's your weekly reminder that net night is tonight! If you're just back from King of the Hammers, join us and tell us all about your experience! If you've got a trip coming up join us and share your plans! If you haven't got anything going on, join us and get inspired! :D

I'm looking for a 1973-1975 Chevy Suburban for a project vehicle. Required: 4x4 - not really interested in converting a 2WD to 4WD Fairly or completely rust-free Running and driving enough to travel to San Jose, CA Preferred but not required: Barn doors Located in western states - I don't feel...

The guys at CVT convinced me to install to the passenger side so that if you ended up just pulling off to the side of the road to camp, the ladder wouldn't be in the road when opened. I also considered off the back because it would clear the barn doors I have (hatches might make this less...

Definitely seems to be a trend in the response here, James. I know you were expecting some of this kind of response, but I hope that the fact that the ONLY responses you've gotten show that this is generally not ok. In our emails you talked about the gun community self-regulating. Well, this is...

Congrats on the new place! I hear you about not wanting to deal with doing the upgrades on your existing place. I've lived through 2 big projects and while the outcome was great, getting there definitely makes you question the choice. Find other people worth talking to on the radio, and even...

Great net tonight! 12 check-ins from all over the Bay Area. Some return folks, some first timers. Had some good chats with some folks from the Mad Hatters 4x4 and Esprit de Four clubs. Answered a few questions and shared some anecdotes about getting into ham radio. Thanks everyone for joining...

Fortunately what you describe is not the majority, and not even the "many" of mountain bikers' interactions with trails. What you're describing is the overly dramatic, extreme-ified mountain biking of videos from the '90's and '00's that are all too often pointed to as the way the entire...

Hey everyone! Net night tonight. Since last week went so well as a ragchew net, I'm gonna move us into topical discussion this week. Tonight's topic will be a pretty easy one and hopefully one that everyone will have a comment on: what got you going in ham radio, and how might that apply to...

James, since you aren't getting a lot of replies, I'm gonna post up a version of what I emailed you: 1) You shouldn't be using those radios on FRS. They aren't licensed for it. 2) Going GMRS and purchasing a 5-year license would allow you to keep doing what you're doing (i.e. Handing radios off...

I see this is kind of an old thread but I thought I'd jump in to see how it was going... Did you figure out the programming yet? Typically for ham radios you have to get a special USB cable that connects in to the headphone/PTT port on the side of the radio. A few has USB ports, but you still...

IRLP is actually pretty easy. Basically any IRLP repeater has a node number which is like a phone number. If you'd like to directly connect one repeater to another over IRLP, you use your DTMF keypad to dial the node number of the repeater you want to connect to. The caveat to that is that some...

Not a dumb question at all! This is what we're here for. The IRLP reflector can be accessed from any repeater that is also IRLP connected. If you wanted to connect at home in CO you could find a repeater with IRLP, use that repeater to call the IRLP reflector and you'll get access to the net...

Ah, yeah, you're not gonna get over to Morgan Hill from there. Looks like Mt. Thayer is the biggest impediment between you and Sunol Ridge, which could be a problem. Checkout PathRf.com to check your line of site. Looks like if you're west of Old Santa Cruz Highway & Summit Rd. You've got a...

Glad we got you hooked up this week! :D Nice chatting with you, hope you enjoyed the net.
