| jedijf | ChinnoDog: ok first of all.....that domain....raised eyebrows | 16:46 |
| jedijf | ChinnoDog: and there are many similar, and the current ht rage. they sound good too. | 16:47 |
| waltman | also their logo looks like an amazon ripoff | 16:48 |
| ChinnoDog | I don't hear much on 70cm on my current walkie. Seems more useful for going backpacking than anything. | 17:20 |
| jedijf | ChinnoDog: all areas are different. You may be in a 2m area. | 17:21 |
| jedijf | Up here, we are 70cm heavy. Further out in the sticks it goes to 2m. | 17:22 |
| ChinnoDog | So urban backpacking? hehe | 17:28 |
| jedijf | ChinnoDog: try this one, it's Allstar linked so talks all over: 447.6750 -5 MHz 123.0 K3WS Washington, Union Station | 17:29 |
| ChinnoDog | 70cm will have less attenuation from solid objects. I've never walked around DC with my radio. Maybe more traffic there. | 17:29 |
| jedijf | if you can hit that, and it's connected to W3WAN, you can talk back into this area | 17:29 |
| ChinnoDog | I can't reach Union Station from here. :-( That is 20+ miles away. | 17:29 |
| jedijf | try it | 17:30 |
| ChinnoDog | The house I am moving to in two weeks has better elevation. Maybe I can put a discreet antenna on my balcony. I forget what direction the balcony faces. | 17:30 |
| jedijf | or this one: 447.3750 -5 MHz 123.0 K3WS College Park, Berwyn Heights MD OPEN A | 17:31 |
| jedijf | or this one, all allstar linked: 447.9250 -5 MHz 123.0 K3WS West Laurel MD OPEN A | 17:31 |
| ChinnoDog | I can't reach anything in MD from here last I tried. | 17:31 |
