Welcome W3esc. You should fit right in with those credentials. Don't hesitate to jump in - the water is fine
Right now I only have a tech license so I'm pretty much stuck with VHF and UHF I will be upgrading to general shortly so I'll be able to get on HF
I like the picture and the quote. That quote, I do believe that it was true at the time it was spoken. Now, there maybe more guns but I do wonder what percentage of our country would stand up against invasion. Anyways- welcome to the monkey.
There is some doubt it was ever said at all, let alone by the alleged speaker. Who said invasion would be foolish Gun behind every blade of grass
@kellory, yes I have heard that but I still like the line. @W3esc how do you like being on the fire dept? I know the initial training is many hours but after is it time consuming?
I love it I'm only a volunteer right now going on my 5th or 6th year I wouldn't trade it for anything. It also helps being on a pretty busy company we run ~700 calls a year. It's a family tradition my dad used to be chief and now he is the main driver for us. I'm looking to go paid soon.
