I too have had enough of this BS. First things first. When an incident occurs and I'm in the shack (quite often), trust me I already have a bearing & signal strength on the offender. Most of our usuall suspects are mobile and hand-held. I know, I see the signals...
10-9
This should make most of us realize what a good site Sunset Ridge really is. It's hit & miss into Mt Wilson from both Camp SuperLoop and Susan's Laguna QTH's. I totally understand the difficulty getting in from Running Springs as mountains can be like an RF Firewall. I have a straight...
Hello to all and thanks to those that attended Burning Ham III, helping what I think was our best Burning Ham ever. Anyway, here are a few crowd shots of those that were well enough to crawl out of thier bat-caves on Saturday. Had a great time. 73 - Gregg

Great last-minute ride, glad we pulled it off. For those that couldn't make it, Harper was bummed too! Starting out at Camp SuperLoop, Running Springs and off to Big Bear carving up the curves. Fun way to prepare for the rock-garden obstacle coarse ahead. From Boulder Bay Big Bear we climbed...
Two Thumbs Up
Been dissecting radios since I was a kid (1968). I still marvel at the quality of the older 50s, 60s & 70s electronics. I rarely get excited when popping the hood on new stuff. Disposable unserviceable junk for the most part, with cost rather than quality being the main focus...
Cops
I have always done my best to stay on the right side of the law. The few times I strayed I was treated fairly. No complaints here. As for the court system, that's a different story which I'm not going into. PS-I've been told the video is shown at the opening of a cop movie that used...
Darren Jones invited me to help install a SuperLoop in his hood. I'm having second thoughts.......Police Chase & Shoot Out
If you ever wondered whether cops earn their pay, this will put your mind at ease. A Hollywood studio could not have put together a better chase and shoot out. The...
Wow, the North face of San Gorgonio was really something. A true So Cal enchanted forest complete with fern gullies, waterfalls, creeks and lush valleys. Oh yeah, did I mention the forest nymphs frolicking about. Another ride is planned in this region very soon. Hope you can make it.....Gregg
Broad-Faced Sac Spider?
Hi Guys, I submitted the photos to an entomologist and got a quick reply. Without the actual specimen, positive identification would be difficult, however Glen, the curator of the Spiders Rule web site has indicated that it looked like a Broad-Faced Sac Spider, that is...
Just to let everyone know, SuperLoops are a fun project, but had nothing to do with the fancy wheels I've been known to drive. Shortly after departing my corporate electronics career I was picked up by a dominate force in the Baja racing circuit (Sleepy Hollow Racing). Well, next thing you...
Some of the best firestorm photos I've ever seen. Bummer, used to ride dirtbikes in San Francisquito Canyon. Check these out....Gregg

The Terrible Beauty of California's Powerhouse Fire - In...
Well, I know this is not your typical radio car.....not only did it get the attention of stations both in and out California during last weeks VHF+ contest, had a few chick check-in's as they were traveling the road to Keller Peak. Bottom line, I'll be working something on or off the air...
Had a rather rude awakening last night. Felt something under my blanket and was pretty sure I knew what it was. I guess they like the way I taste. Not sure if this is the same one that got me in the neck a couple of nights ago. After seeing one of these UCC's (unidentified creepy crawlers)...
Well, here I am at the classic wood boat show and guess what? You know I like old stuff, but my favorite boat was not wood. Looked a little bigger than a bathtub toy. Had some pretty good horse power for it's day. 73 - Gregg
UHF VHF Contest Season is Almost Here
Hey Henry, I too am looking forward to using a stacked pair. Need that power-divider. I would also like to remind everyone that 446.000 FM simplex is a fun place to test your stations effectiveness. While there is not a lot of traffic there, there are...
