    want to get into ham

    in Ham Radio

    Posted

    most hams in my area hang out around 147 mhz can i get that with a 2 meter handheld considering im within 2 miles of a repeater

    depends what frequency the repeaters on. Not sure about US but in the uk the repeater is the centre of activity.

     

    Hmm, looking at a US bandplan, that is where repeaters operate, so (particularly if its the lower part of the 147 area) is most likely what they are using.

     

    Heh, you're lucky, we only get 144-146 here in the uk :-(

    officially, ham radio is for self training in radio communications. There are quite a range of frequencies that are usable, from long wavelengths to much shorter ones. Some people even communicate using things like amateur TV on microwaves!

    In the UK there's always Porthcurno - there's a telegraph museum there. Its where the first transatlantic communications were made from, and also goonhilly sattelite earthstation (there's a nearby carpark with good views) this is where the first sattelite link was established from

    GPS Compass, needed or not

    in How do I...?

    I usually carry my GPSr and a standard map compas. Not that there's anything I have against gps compases, I just don't have one. Plus, from what I hear they are not as accurate.

     

    Quick tip: hold them as far apart as possible when taking a reading. I find my compas is affected by my garmin GPS III

    Server sure has been doing better

    Well, this thread's name is deceiving, but mntn-man locked my other thread just notifying the PTB that their servers are down and suggested I post here (to bump a thread with a name which makes the servers appear misleadingly healthy), so here's a repost:

     

    Just FYI to the PTB:

     

    "Server Error in '/' Application.

    yeah, its been really slow for hours, and for the past half an hour or so, it's been totally unusable due to this.
