      Congrats on passing the tests. Unfortunately, I didn't make it to the testing session. Here are some realities about the speediness of FCC license issuance. It's the job of the Volunteer Examiner Coordinator (VEC) to review the results of a testing session and send a file to the FCC with the...

      If I haven't mentioned it before, I'll give you one piece of advice. It's good to take the online exams and strive for perfect or near-perfect scores. But, don't obsess about it. Both the Technician and General test will have 35 questions each. You need only 26 correct answers on each test to...

      Good! I'm a Volunteer Examiner and I'll try to attend that session to help out. I think that end-fed half-wave antenna would be a good place to start if you have the room. My Antennas has one that covers 80m through 10m. That only leaves out 160m and 6m which are not used as much as 80, 40, 20...

      I hear people rave about the My Antennas end-fed half-wave antennas. I've not used one, but they work on almost all bands and the theory seems sound. https://myantennas.com/wp/product-category/antennas/efhw-multi-band/ I have to be a little bit stealthy so I don't attract the attention of my...

      The Icom IC-7300 has been described as "disruptive technology". It brought SDR features to a radio in a box with knobs at a very affordable price. I have one that I use as a portable radio, and it's big brother, the IC-7610 that I use at home. Here's something for new hams to consider about HF...

      Winter Storm Warning 2021

      Have you tried using ethanol-free gasoline? I take care of a friend's 1929 Ford Model A that doesn't get driven very often. I've been buying ethanol-free gasoline for it from a CountryMark station.

      One suggestion for that distance would be 6m. But, 6m antennas are fairly large and single-band 6m radios are rare. Another suggestion would be to find a good 2m repeater that's between you and your brother. Here's a link to the repeater directory on the Indiana Repeater Council website...

      I encourage everyone who has an interest in radio communications to get their amateur radio license. The Technician test is fairly easy. Just do some online studying and try to get the concepts rather than just memorize the questions and answers. Also, don't freak out about having to get every...

      Hendricks County gun show?

      In the past, there's been a gun show at the Hendricks County Fairgrounds in Danville sometime in February. Is there going to be one this year? I've done some Googling on the topic, but I'm not finding anything. If there's already a thread on this topic elsewhere, please direct me to it. Thank you.

      Bite the Bullet gun shop in national magazine

      OK, it's a national magazine, but doesn't have a general interest circulation. I'm a railfan (sorry, no 12-step program that I'm aware of). That is, I like trains. I don't build model trains, but I like to keep current with movements of full-size (aka "prototype") trains and photograph them...

      Marksmanship Pins

      I agree. A pin can go on any piece of clothing you happen to be wearing. A patch would only be on one piece of clothing.

      BASIC DEFENSIVE HANDGUN MAY-JUNE CLASSES

      I think you might want to take a look at your web site. This page, https://www.indyarms.com/iac-tactical-pistol-level1/, has the description for Basic Defensive Handgun, but shows no available dates. Also, the Training Calendar page shows no training dates at all in May.

      HD Shotguns

      Flee? No, they won't be able to run. They will just stand there, frozen in their footprints until law enforcement arrives. If they are holding a weapon, they will drop it and kick it away from them. If they are really scared, they may pee their pants and make a puddle on the floor that you will...

      Copperhead Ridge Firearms.

      I agree. The west side of Indianapolis and eastern Hendricks County seems to be saturated with gun shops. Hard to imagine that they are all making money, but that's probably due to the nature of the gun biz.

      Liberal, Anti-Gun Professor Gets Schooled on This NBC Drama

      "Spin-off" was probably the wrong word. It's a Dick Wolf creation with a tie-in to the old Law & Order. As for Ms. Hayek, she's getting a few years on her and there's always some young hottie to knock the old hotties off of their pedestal. Monica Barbaro, the object of Kirk's, ahem, affections...

      Liberal, Anti-Gun Professor Gets Schooled on This NBC Drama

      This thread has gone horribly wrong. Chicago Justice, which is the subject of this thread, is a spin-off of the old Law & Order but set in Chicago. Instead of CPD detectives, you have Illinois State's Attorneys and their detectives. The character of the State's Attorney is supposed to be the...

Am I succeeding?] The anti-gun thread was pretty obvious in that episode. The plot was very clear that liberal professors are filling college students'...
