I printed the attached file which is a map of West Plains. I then emailed it to the UPS Store and Angie laminated it for me. I got both 8.5x11 and 11x17. I intend to use this with a compass, straight edge, and dry erase marker just like the basic orienteering shown in this video.



Have a good weekend, 73

Greetings from your huntmaster of the day. Hunt starts in less than an hour inside the city limits of West Plains. There is a pass-phrase displayed on the fox. When you find the fox, leave it where it is and note the message. Find me and tell me the pass-phrase so that I can log your discovery.

That is all.?

73 & Happy Hunting,?

Amen to not having too many tools! That link from HRO looks like a good buy too. Several options. I’ve primarily crimped rg-58, 8x, rg8u, lmr400… that’s about it I guess. One of those usually fits my amateur needs. Some bigger stuff at work. I have a set of Anderson power pole crimpers somewhere…. If I can find where I laid them, you or anyone else are welcome to borrow them.

Also, glad to see you’re getting your settings figured out on your Yaesu!?

My searches brought up $200+ kits and my thinking was I would never make enough crimps to be worth it, but that over time the entire club would, and surely I am not the first guy to have the thought. In fact, my friends and I in the RC flying club had gone in on an expensive set of Anderson Power Pole crimpers that we rarely used. Oh well.

I like the different dies too but had added to today's HRO order, an hour before I saw your post. I still had the same thinking about how few connectors I'll ever crimp and that I have only RG-8X.? I'll add your link to my next Amazon order and will have a crimper for the bench/shack and one for the go bag. One can never have too many tools.

Thanks.

As for strippers, I’ve tried a few sets but seem to go back to the old pocket knife mostly.?

I was trying to find a link to the set I have but can’t locate them. Did stroll across this set which looks pretty reasonable compared to most. I like the kind that you can put different dies in, and this has 5 sets it looks like.?

....? I found the setting I needed to get the Y857 on the air on 2M. I had the tone and the repeater shift programmed, I just couldn't find the name of the setting to change the shift to a negative number. I found it in a completely different menu, set it, et voila!!?? Soon I'll increase xmit power enough to get out and test whether I reach both repeaters.
