[02:05] so will you only talk in pictures, lazypower ? [04:05] I have been known to speak in gifs from time to time [04:05] But I'll save that for reddit [06:31] o.O [06:31] * CodemonkeyAlx is on my chromebook :D [10:07] Morning. [11:18] Morning [11:19] hi rmg51 [11:19] o/ [13:06] foggy out there [17:35] KyleYankan: jedijf: I am a ham now. [17:37] now? [17:37] what were you before? [17:38] pig [17:39] oink [17:51] ChinnoDog: congrats. What's the call? [19:17] snort [19:41] flyers need to step up their game [20:58] KyleYankan: I only passed the test today. No call yet. I passed the technician and then the general exam. [21:29] Good bacon to all and to all some good bacon! [21:50] ChinnoDog: ah, nice. Congrats! [22:47] I want to tune in athe local radio club repeater but I don't hear anything from it. Either it is silent or I don't know how to use my radio. [22:53] ChinnoDog: which club repeater? [22:53] N3KZ and W3WAN are usually busy [22:54] The radio club that tested me. The repeater is ~8 mi away. It is in Alexandria, VA [22:55] I should expect to get reception from 8 mi away on a walkie right? [22:56] yeah, if anyone is on the repeater [22:56] it might jsut be slow [22:57] I get nothing. :-( [22:58] I dialed down the squelch to its lowest setting so I get occasional bursts of static. [22:58] Check another repeater in the area [22:58] or tune to an APRS freq to see if you hear that [23:01] Is that a beacon? [23:02] It's a digital location system [23:02] network of radios [23:10] I am looking at aprs.org and I don't understand. Where do I tune? I set my radio for 144.39 and there is nothing there. [23:12] that's be right. it''s possible no-one is aorund you broadcasting [23:14] How is that possible? I am not exactly in the middle of nowhere. [23:16] I mean, as simple as no-one else near you broadcasting loud enough? It's not a cell network, it's not comprehensive [23:19] But the repeater should have traffic from miles around and this is a dense area.
