    Mobile Ham operations banned?

    Ran a Dump truck locally for about 10 years until the great 2007,2008 Obama fuel expense hit good. Ran with some guy hauling sand from off of the railway. These 2 dudes had novelty train horns, they had alot of fun messin' with people. They'd wake a guy up when they met ya, very loud in my ears..

    Tornado again

    I've been watching some of the storm chasers the last few few days here and there. I know a lot of them are Adrenaline Junkies but they seem to be another warning device of sorts. Man I feel for anyone who goes through a tornado. Ran my dump truck, at the time, in Joplin after that big hit...

    Troublemakers.........

    Aah, that explains it. I miss that run but it was a long ole day from SW MO. Always had to do the Blue Beacon wash at exit 75 or beside TA. Glad those jokers aren't plugging 19 like that, although they were usually just shootin' the bull,when I heard 'em, just sorry choice of channels.

    Tornado again

    Oh man, sorry that happened to you and the 3rd beam too. I'm glad you all are unharmed though. I was questioning in my mind about the insurance paying, hopefully.

    Troublemakers.........

    Yep I've been to Amarillo several times going down to Clovis and Farwell off of 60. Seem like about half of the times there would be a couple of guys on bases or whatever plugging up ch 19

    Water in coax

    Okay I've had time to look around on the internet and check out your Tower. That's one big nice tower. That's a big ole wind force too. You've got me go get the tape measure out and figure out just which Rohn Tower I do have. Apparently it's HDBX48 wind load 18. Silly Rohn site says maximum...
