Thanks to Daryl and Henry for all the hard work and everything else required to get it going again :wink: Also, a big thanks to Kevin KC6FLG for providing us with a temporary repeater during the interim :thumbup:

A lot of Californians are unaware of who Howard Jarvis was and what Proposition 13 means to ALL Californians. Proposition 13 affects (protects) renters too, not just home owners, from exorbitant property taxes. Back in the 70's, California raised the property taxes so high, that many people...

:laugh:

Well, with most politicians being lawyers, it's their inherent mantra to write and amend laws with wording (legalese) that is purposely misleading to the average citizen ... kind of along the same lines as the word 'BAD' meaning 'GOOD' ... Our tax dollars at work ...

I applied to be a beta tester :)

I just happened to run across the article while searching for a location to buy a couple of passes. I will still buy them, as I would find myself using some of the facilities throughout the year ...

Judge rules against Forest Service fees in Southern California LA Times article says: So if you're just parking to go on a hike - not using restrooms or other facilities, NO Adventure Passes are required :wink: LA Times

WTF is going on here? ... can't we all just get along ?

... or better yet, just buy a simplex repeater. It receives and records a transmission (up to 30 seconds) then retransmits the original transmission on the same frequency. Connect it to one of your GMRS 'walkie talkies' and stick it someplace high enough to give you the coverage you need. You...

1. The V71 will NOT transmit a band 'B' UHF frequency if band 'A' is also a UHF frequency. The radio is just not equipped to do it. 2. The V71 is an Amateur band Radio, not a GMRS band radio, even if you did modify the radio to operate outside of the Amateur .... band frequencies, it is...

I noticed a woman on my cctv monitor standing in my driveway taking pix a few days ago. By the time I got out there, she had hopped into a dark gray Nissan SUV that someone else was driving. I've lived in my current home for over 30 years, I'm not in a HOA neighborhood, I've had several...

They weren't kidding. Took less time to put this together than it took to make up the (4) 1/4 wave whips with BNC connectors :wink:

Not only that, but dig into those 25 and 30 year bonds that the voters eagerly voted in over the past several decades. The G-man still collects on those bonds through our tax system, even though the bonds have timed-out :cursing:

Yeah, I remember putting a 9v battery on my tongue ... and holy shit! :tongue:

It's not just the feds, but all governmental agencies. Every one of them shirk responsibility and they pretty much mismanage everything they get their hands on. We wouldn't be experiencing the piss-poor economic tailspin we're in if they didn't fuck with the free market system. No, they had...

They'll need to create another bureaucratic infrastructure to monitor some sort of black box that we'll have to have installed in our vehicles ... all at the cost to us taxpayers. Let's say that will probably cost us hundreds of millions as well :sneaky2:

You guys can come over and do that at my QTH ... you'll need to supply the grass though :tongue:

Reading all the comments (the pulse of the population), makes me wonder how legislation like this could ever pass. Oh yeah, we won't get to vote on this ... non-elected corrupt legislators get to do the 'voting'. It never ceases to amaze me how laws like this go into effect without these stupid...

I heard that GEV dropped out due to his new job, will be working weekends

... and today (Cinco de Mayo), I cut the remainder of the garage door spring and gave Cuddebike front suspension (well not really, it's just cosmetic) :tongue: ... also, added a front down tube, re-laced the front wheel (to center it better) and added a headlight (from an old Malibu light...
