Who else out here is also into Ham Radio
tpctech:
After taking a break from working on and planning for more blinky lights I crossed over to my other hobby of Ham radio and built a new computer for my IRLP repeater node. About 1 more weekend and new box should be ready to go live on my node here in Niles, MI. a top my 180ft tower!
So I was wondering who else does the Ham radio thing out here. I have had a license since I was about 10...wow that was a long time ago! I currently have a "tech plus" which means I did the code! I am about 30 questions or so from getting my General!.....I just got to study and take the test! So easy to procrastinate!

Man that is some tower!
I am K4ROB advanced class, but I have not been active in about 7 years.

180ft Tower = 180ft Mega tree
That's some thick coax/heliax running up that tower.
Never got an amatuer license as morse was required in Oz for what i wanted but i just couldn't learn it so ended up in the good buddy 27mhz band working skip to the US and Europe with a Yaesu 707 and 5 element yagi in the upper half of 27mhz.
The 400w linear helped at times :)

As you can guess, I'm also a ham. Not quite as active as I used to be, but I just spent this weekend replacing the Boston 145.23 repeater and other work at the site.

That would be a semi truck of lights! I think they would have to crank up another reactor at the local nuke plant.
Now,..... I have thought about a animated star at 180ft
