    Hey Chaz, you comin?
    Depends on how much $$$ when the time rolls around. Dayton will be rolling around about that time and again, depends on the funds. Not that I've ever been to Dayton but it resides in the background. In years past, work always said eff-NO!

    You will probably be coming down closer to the coast than the Piedmont area. I recall your last trip to the Lowland.

    Uhhhhh....... I Don't Think So... and also not on 147.435, 14.275, 14.313, 27.025, 3.913, or any 75m freq that holds the Medical Malady Net
    Encrypt everything. Even if you have nothing to hide. It increases the noise floor.

    Oh, are those the frequencies where the denziens tell you if you don't like it, you can shove a broomstick straight up your asterix?

    Hello.

    27.185MHz or 146.520MHz, in the San Antonio area we can not tell them apart. ;)
    To really frustrate them I may pick something on 220 and QSY.
    Most modern rigs can Receive there but few can Transmit. ;)
    That or go AM on 2 meters.
    Moral of the story is to operate multi-mode multi-band.
    10 meters is easy, but FM?
    160 AM?
    For 10 an old commercial rig works well and is cheap.
    For 160 any of the old marine radios is a cheap and easy option.
    I can have both radios complete with antennas for under $100.
    This is for used everything including the antennas.
