TRAVIS D WALTERS, JR in Iowa may not like that much. (Since I'm WY0X... GRIN.)
I think if we continue this much further, the guys in other countries with completely different rules are going to revolt and kick all of us U.S. rules namby-pambies off of D-STAR, anyway. LOL! Let's talk about some real radio fun... Everyone remember to fire up REAL radios (ahem... I mean non-D-STAR radios... SSB preferred) for the ARRL VHF/UHF QSO Party this weekend! See you on the air from DM89 at the W0KVA multi-op Limon, CO middle-of-the-cow-pasture camp-out station... well right up until the afternoon thunderstorms roll through and we have to go find hard-hats for the golf-ball sized hail, that is! The team has a new KW on 6m for extra "firepower" on that band, and we'll be operating from 6m through 10 GHz... see you all on the air! (Also launching an aerial photo mission to shoot photos from the air of W0KVA and hopefully also W0EEA... and MAYBE fly down to a grid corner and catch a couple of rovers at their starting point near Calhan, CO... we'll see on that last one. 4+ hours of fuel on board, and professional photographer -- wife of one of the other people who own a portion of the aircraft's LLC -- in the back... now we just wish we had a photo "port"... shooting through plexiglass kinda stinks. Oh well... there will be some cool shots for the QSL cards if the weather cooperates! W0EEA has his 6m beam atop a forklift right now, 'cause his structure for it fell down a year or so ago... that'll look great in an aerial shot! :-) Fun with ham radio ... you're either havin' it, or you're online debating ID rules, right? LOL! See y'all on the air. (p.s. We *will* have the IC-91AD on board, but we're starting with the TH-F6A on 223.5 FM simplex for coordination. Way quieter... but we'll see if we get a chance to try some "D-STAR Aeronautical Mobile" on the way out/in from the photo hop.) Photos will go up on www.rmham.org as we create them... or when we have time to upload them. John's good about that. -- Nate Duehr, WY0X [email protected] On Thu, 11 Jun 2009 14:43 -0700, "John Hays" <[email protected]> wrote: Similarly, if I am using Nate's radio, I should ID as WXOY (not K7VE), unless he has loaned his station apparatus (radio) to me, at which time it becomes part of my station, K7VE, and I would identify the station as K7VE. Consequently, if he loaned me his repeater I could identify it using the K7VE callsign (as it would be part of my station), but if I was using the repeater as part of his station, I could be the control operator and ID the repeater as WX0Y.
