Thanks Jed, that's pretty cool! I'll give that a try using my FT5DR. I had no idea you could actually hold a net over APRS. 73, Mark -- --------------------- Mark Ehr | K0EHR VP, 285 Tech Connect

Re: Simple guying solution for portable masts
Thanks Jed - that's pretty cool. I'll check out the article. I solved the guying problem by 3D printing a collar that slips onto my push up pole and has carabiners that attach to it and the guy ropes.

Re: Morse code pocket knife
Very cool! I've seen Morse Code keychains, but never a pocket knife! I'll bet if you could come up with a Morse Code pocket knife that also includes a built-in key....you could make DOLLARS on that.?
