Remember, 72mhz has longer antennas!

USN_POPS · 06-23-2008, 01:16 AM

It's not the length of your antenna that counts, it's the overall effect you can achieve with it. At least that's what I've always been told.

A high standing wave ratio gets you nowhere! 1:1 Baby!

Lewiston was fun. I was a little worried that we may have dominated the sky I noticed there were a lot of planes setting there that I never saw in the air.
Jerry you came out of the woodwork.
Look's like I may be able to make it to Snohomish who all's going from here.

IIMAC · 06-23-2008, 10:58 AM

Kevin, did that lady buy your bipe?

kevinc · 06-23-2008, 11:04 AM

Yes, She payed for it right before we left. Nice not to have to drag it home! I will be going to Snahomosh with Bill and Keith in the fifth wheel I think. I will let you know.

I bet Jerry's at the field today. Training all the new bees. I got to give him credit, he has a lot of patients!

IIMAC · 06-23-2008, 05:53 PM

I talked to him earlier and he was at the field. Thursday is the kid's day I plan on taking all day off to practice then help with the kid's. It should be a lot of fun.

kevinc · 06-23-2008, 09:46 PM

I am not sure if I can be there yet. I herd Steve is worried about gas prices. It sounds like he runs every last drop out of his tank to get the most out of his money!!! (Twice) Is that right Steve?

crownline · 06-24-2008, 12:06 AM

At $4.00 gal i will use it all. I'm still shaking from that last flight

IIMAC · 06-24-2008, 09:59 AM
