So last night Cynthia was on a new to her radio and she was had her mic gain down so low she was mostly unreadable. I gave her my phone number and downloaded the manual for her icom 2300h then helped her o find the mic gain setting and rectify that problem. (That radio has only a low and high setting, odd!)
Amazingly, she's even less knowledgeable than I am. Besides getting that set right, she's now more confident about using the manual and making changes to radios so that's a good thing as well. I also stumbled across some things I didn't know about while going through the manual so I gained as well.

A friend from AA told me to come over and get some wood for my pit BBQ. Later that day a radio friend tells me his landlord has about 3 or 4 cords of 2 year seasoned maple for free, but take it all or nothing. No limbs, just large rounds.

Well, my only other active forum appears to be gone. Years ago I was doing my second build. I wanted a 450 Bushmaster for deer hunting. Someone at the old Armory referred me to 450Bushmaster.net and a couple guys there were a great help. Lately I’ve noticed either LONG delays or no response at all on posts and yesterday there’s no web presence at all. It’s too bad- the more welcoming and more… serious? helpful? sites don’t seem to last. Sites like the ‘other’ AR15 site and Glocktalk.com are full of blowhards and braggarts with criticism and insults but very little real help.
