Kinda funny you mention ARES... I WAS an ares member for a little bit there, but got tired of the whacker mentality, political BS, and the big competition of who had access to the EOC in the Sheriffs department and quit.. The group disbanded shortly after (Not because I left hahaha). And myself and a couple of other hams formed a skywarn group and it's been smooth sailing since.. All the politics and drama are GONE!
Also thanks for the reminder to remove any mentioning of ares from my qrz bio (I know you didn't say anything about the bio, but I remembered to check to see that I got all of it removed)..
We run this skywarn group as a GROUP, not a totalitarian dictatorship.. And it really works great..
I'm glad I learned the ARES lesson early on...
Silly Queen Regina is a new one too lol
You've got a tough one to get any good comebacks on :)
I'm not too good with coming up with the funny phonetics.. The best one I've heard so far was Shooting Quality Rounds
I have to give Henry WB9TFX (my VERY first ham radio contact) credit for that one
