Only if you want to hang out with cool dudes

[Old Fart]

LOL, there is that.

I still remember Keller when it was 146.985

[Nipple Twister]

Boy am I slow.....

....I just now read this. Roger, I removed one of my radios from the motorcycle and now have it in the house as a base station, Kenwood TM-742 Tri-Band. I am already at work by 5AM so I will try and catch you and the others in the evening around 5PM.
I will monitor Keller and Catalina and during days of inclement weather I drive the Jeep and I will try various times then too......
We should work out and MJR Net...possibly a Sat or Sun.....?:thumbs_up

I'll be listening at 5:00 PM for you and the others.

Why don't you start a new thread with the idea of a MJR radio net. There would be a lot to discuss like best time & day, what frequency etc. otaining permission from a repeater owner to conduct a net, to name a few.

Hi Roger,

Just dropped down into this topic and found this thread. Out of curiosity which antenna did you get?

I was on the Veterans day run that you lead and after talking to Russ I went out and got my license and a rig for my Jeep. Been doing a lot of listening but not much talking.

I'll see if I can get contact with you all here in Santa Ana. It would be great to talk to MJR folks.

Mike,

It's a dual band Comet, SBB-5 2m-440Mhz with a PL-259 mount. This antenna may get a bad rap by some but it's pretty durable. It's working great for me. Here's more info on it and this is where I bought it:

Whatever you do, don't ever buy a glass mount antenna!

Congratulations on getting your license! What's your call sign?

[Roger]

Russ,

I'm going to be on the WIN System this morning and on Keller on my way home. If for some reason I can't access the WIN System, I'll be on Keller Pk.
WIN: 6:15 - 6:50 AM
Keller: 5:00 - 5:45 PM

Mike,

Roger,

Call sign is KR6ROK,

Nice antenna, I ended up with the Diamond version of that one.

I'm finding that at home I am shaded from Keller by the local hills. I can get decent reception near work in Santa Ana. But my schedule puts me at the wrong end of your guys contact schedule. I'll try staying later at work and hitting the 5-5:45 time slot.

Cool callsign. Your call sign ROKs

[Deepwater]

Cool callsign. Your call sign ROKs

Thanks! I needed something that I could remember easily.

Monitored 5-5:30 today but there were a lot of guys on from Upland and San Bernadino and they had the repeater tied up pretty tight. Got good reception in Santa Ana at work if I got between buildings. Pretty amazing I think.

I heard them also and I didn't want to interupt them. Do you have 440Mhz capabilities? Go to post #4 by Russ in this thread and program Santiago Peak into your radio. It's linked to many other repeaters including one above Victorville. We should all try to meet there. It was very quiet this evening.

Roger,

Yes I do and I have good access to it from my house. I'll give it a listen tomorrow after work.
