Took Tech last weekend and received callsign yesterday - KL3FJ. Now I just need to get the radio.

Randy, By far that was the best info I have yet to receive, thank you. I am still going to do so more research but you have given me a great starting point. I would rather spend more now then buy something to get by; always seemed to be a waste of money. Again Thanks.

I am leaning towards the mobile route for a few reasons not the least of which is to be used while overlanding. Now the next question which one? I am already studying for my General and wonder if it would be more advantages to buy a mobile that will cover not only VHF/UHF but also the HF band...

Read a couple books and this site; http://www.hamradiolicenseexam.com

?????? - Chugiak, AK - ??/???? - Paul V. Just took Tech today

Took my Tech exam today, 10min and 100%...think I studied WAY too much!. Anyway guess I have to wait for my license to show up on the database, well that and until I decided on what radio to start with. Handheld or Mobile? Feel free to offer any advise.

BACON ROCKS!!!! The bacon experiment was my first pressure canning after an artical in Backwoods Home Magazine. Really worked well and came out great.

So... I have been wanting to getting into canning for some time now, both as a means of being prepared and as a means of being prepared. The wifey has been doing the water bath method for her peach marmalade and a few other items but boiling water is far to mundane for me…no it simply wont do...

I try and keep it simple; too many guns I would like to buy. Between a wife thats not a big gun fan and desire to shoot what I do have and not hunt for ammo I keep the armory streamline. Daily Carry/Home Defense - Springfield 1911A1 with 230-gr. Hydroshock Hunting/Back-up Home Defense - DPMS...

Boy asking this kind of question is sort of like asking a man his favorite beer. That said I will throw my opinion into the lot. Why do I carry a .45? ‘Cause they don’t make a .46. Pretty much anywhere I go I have a Springfield Arms 1911A1 on my hip. Simply put it works; always has, always...

So I am going back-and-forth here… I returned from the dark side a few years back and have pretty much eliminated anything to do with PC from my life; still working on the employers. Anyway I do most of my work between a MacBook and iMac but have given serious thought to getting a MacBook Air...

I bought that case and it is securable however haven’t found a way to mount it in the jeep though.

SO let me tell you about Alaska…. A couple months back I got pulled over for speeding. As the Anchorage PD Officer approached the window I placed both hands on the wheel after rolling the window down. As required by law I informed him that I have a CCW Permit and that I was armed at that time...

Alright guys….need some ideas. Trying to figure a mounting for an AR10 Rifle. It needs to be lockable for a Jeep unlimited. Pics would be very helpful.

LOVE IT!!!! The only problems was I had it installed just when fuel prices hit the roof....oops; 19.5 to 31.5 gallons. I had a shop install it and the only issues was the install time seemed to be based on hacking the rear cross member out, they spent a little more time and made it a real clean...

The rack is a blend of Kargo Master and ARB as no one makes a decent full size rack for the LJ

I have a ARB rear bumper on my '06 LJ....I have NO IDEA how many tie'in to the frame it has...too many according to the shop I had install it; as if ARB would do anything less. It is a rated class 3 (at least) and one of the few rated class hitches I have found for the jeep

I am looking for ideas for ideas for storing/mounting a 20lbs propane tank on my jeep. I have seen a vertical mount that attaches to the spare tire bolts. Any ideas?

There is only one perfect snack for overlanding (long medevacs also)....PB&J. Extra-crunchy peanut butter, Knott's Berry Farm Boysenberry preserves on multi-grain bread. Has everything you need; protein, carbs, fat, grains.

You know, I have had my little Minolta x700 for 24 years. I have taken it literally ALL over the world and it has never failed me. I see the digital side as having some great advantages but hard to give up something so reliable but I made the decision to not shoot film until I get comfortable...
