@KC7JPC So now I’m gonna have to pay for HAMRS. I know it’s only $4.99 and it’s the principal behind the issue.

I upgraded to the iPhone 16 Pro Max yesterday and am currently running iOS 18.3.2. I went to redownload HAMRS on my new iPhone, and encountered this. Has anyone else had this issue???

Wow! A 40° F difference between today’s low (40° F) and today’s high (80° F). Great temperatures for the official first day of Spring 2025!!!

Thinking about replacing my ATAS-120 with this high-tech Fred Flintstone indoor TV antenna. Sure, it might not tune 40m, but I bet it gets solid reception on the Yabba-Dabba-Doo band! Who needs modern gear when you’ve got Stone Age RF innovation?

@K0LWC Well, they say imitation is the highest form of flattery… Posted this exact thing in a ham radio Facebook group, and now here it is again with a ‘Kenwood’ twist. Guess Monty was making the rounds!

Check out my new QFX J-220BT! This thing receives AM, FM, SW1 & SW2, Cassette, MP3 (USB/SD), and Bluetooth—incredible. Huge thanks to Tim (WSDM786) for this! Can’t wait to use it at Summer Field Day—jamming out or tuning in to Shortwave!

It was a beautiful day for ham radio. I was outside on Tuesday afternoon making several contacts on 70 cm. Thanks to everyone who took time out yesterday to talk and chew the rag with me. 73 everyone!!!!

Any nets tonight around Athens, TN on tonight? I’m spending the night in Athens and have my FT-65R with me. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Yesterday I spent my evening assisting a friend of mine who recently received his #GMRS license and callsign get set up for talking on GMRS. Is it possible to be an Elmer for GMRS?
