      3D printing parts and accessories

      After 8 years on my MakerFarm Pegasus 12 inch, I am moving to the Bambu P1P, and will be making my own enclosure as a way to used to the new machine. Looking forward to it, should be here in a few weeks. A lot has changed in 8 yrs.

      Long Range, low power wide area network (LoRa)

      May be good for use with your team, tied into ATAK. Or over a larger area if you can get some repeaters at height, maybe your local ham club. A FB group just started up for Indiana Mesh. Some cities have wide use of it out west not so much here.

      Probably the easiest path to start with would be using a Mobilinkd 4 with one of your existing HT's. You will need your ticket. With vhf packet (if supported in your area) you will be able to SMS or email via APRS, or Winlink. Watch videos on this, as a starting point.

      Emergency Communication

      My base antenna is the Chameleon Emcomm 2 in my 2 story attic with the element running outside into a line of pine trees. Very thin wire does good under the HOA radar. Unseen.

      This, And test which of your antennas do this the best and which stations you can hit reliably. For me, my EFHW does better than my Chameleon MPAS configurations. 5w portable I can reliably hit 40m stations on Winlink Vara/JS8call to the east coast and close to the Rockies.

      Are familiar with JS8Call, Winlink or APRS? Do you have any HF gear or VHF/UHF only?

      Ok, this next week I am going to work on setting up an server for small status reports of my area. This will be accessible via JS8Call. I will plan on having it available in an evening or two for people to access. I not sure I want to leave my IC-7300 unattended all day when a software glitch...

      Do you have any links or results with using Lora with drones? I need about 17 miles to the furthest team mate.

      Yah, I looked at the Meshtastic stuff early on, but decided to pass and focus on JS8CALL, and Winlink. I am partial to JS8CALL because I was in the Alpha test group with Survival Tech Nord as it was developed. My base weight at about 13lbs back in 2019 before I switched from Yaesu to Icon.

      Backpack camping/Survival Pack Contents

      For ultralite, I just use a 40L Modase pack off amazon. It is $20 or so. Good only for up to 20lbs, but my UL baseweight makes it work fine. Lightweight I use Osprey very well made. I also use Large Alice pack, heavy but bullet proof. And does not ride high up so it is easier to scramble...

      Do you want mil surplus, ultra light, low pro etc?

      Backpack camping/Survival Pack Contents

      I will say this, one thing many people forget is space in your pack. If it is jammed full, this prevents you from adding needed items. Plus when you have to pack up in a hurry, good luck getting that wet tarp, or back in the bag it came in. Get a pack that leaves you some space.

      Red dots on handguns are for play (change my mind)

      You obviously have good eyesight. My aging eyes can not focus on my front sight. Red dot solves that. Being able to see your sights is important, no?

      Indiana Higher Ed Options and Thoughts

      IU grad here but my daughter just graduated from Purdue and almost done with her graduate work in structural engineering. I have been really impressed with Purdue. She is darn near getting most of her costs paid for by being an RA and now a TA. 5 yrs and a degree in civil engineering, masters...

      Ditto, I use the X100F as my go to travel camera now. Old school ergonomics, and results when using the fuji film sims.

      Beginner Photography Recommendations

      It is going to be hard to get good portraits in a Vet/Office environment with harsh office lighting. Will these be done at the clients home, or office. Outside, is best with indirect light.
