Re: Yaesu VX-3R antenna options
Thanks Larry! Is that Diamond atenna the one you had on your belt that was bent in the middle last weekend? If so, that size is fine, especially if I can bend it like that. My only concern would be snapping an antenna in a dirtbike fall...although I guess most of the time I'm not riding with the ...

Yaesu VX-3R antenna options
So from my reading, I'll be able to great enhance my radio with simply a better antenna (I'm not looking to get a new radio until I understand it more). I have a Yaesu VX-3R handheld which is perfect for my backpacking, dirtbiking and mobile rig unit. I also know that if I use the battery power, it ...

Re: Summer Fest/Field Day Reports and Pictures
Unfortunately, I was lazy and didn't take any pictures (even when wheeling) except at the Discovery Center of a baby desert tortoise in a display... :P It was nice to meet everyone who came, shared food, stories, and a campfire. I'm disappointed that I had leftover chicken tinga...until I had it for ...

Thanks, I hadn't gotten around to sending you a PM. I posted that because I couldn't sleep last night...maybe I'm just so excited?

Re: Saturday 2012 Summer Fest Run (White Mountain 3N17)
Kinda wanted to make this, but I have a meeting at 0830 at the Discovery Center. I'll probably run a trail after that (not difficult) but I'll listen to the Keller Peak repeater to hear how much fun you're having

Re: Saturday 2012 Summer Fest Run (White Mountain 3N17)
Just fyi - I read last year's report about the motorcycles. The reason I'll be up here is because of the same event going on this weekend this year. (I'm hauling up my brother's dirtbike and dropping him off at a motel). http://www.bigbeartrailriders.com/content.aspx?page_id=87&club_id=849383&item ...
