Why are we going to put in a PL for Simplex?
I thought it would be a good idea, considering how many people will be trying to use the same bands. Lots of Hams, small band.

It only prevents you from hearing the other hams, which means you can double with them. It's good for setting an alarm (not hear anything until someone transmits the right pl). But if there are other hams on frequency you want to know about it before transmitting.

I haven't been there in years and years. We used to go there and camp. I was with the Pentucket Radio Association at the time. It was fun but things have changed lots since I was there last.
I don't think I knew him. I was active with them in the early 90's. On the board for a term and then as president.
OK, countdown to Deerfeild is down to a week.
Have we decided on a gathering spot for the NES crew?
I think we agreed on a camping spot, so we could just meet at the campsite at a certain time.
I have an interesting question. Is open carry permitted at NEAR-Fest?
I wouldn't try it.
I'm not sure if having firearms is against the rules of the fairgrounds (like alcohol), but the organizers don't want to see them.
Check out the post I made for Near-Fest One and the replies:

I do know some who are licensed and carry concealed up there, but open carry may get you thrown out.
Wow, I would have thought that they would be a little more level headed than that.
I'm still looking for a ride. Anyone heading up from or past the Gardner area?
I'd give you a ride, but I'm gonna be out of town.
I passed on the info about this event to the Beef Jerky guy that sells at the gun shows. He seemed interested and it's a shorter drive for him than any of the Mass gun shows. Hopefully he'll be there, I need my jerky fix!![]()
I found an interesting comment on the NEAR-Fest forum.

It started out as a question about riding a bicycle, but check out the comment by N1IWV.![]()
I'll be honest, some of the comments about carrying on the NEAR-Fest forum are really making me sick.
I'll still go, but my opinion of these guys isn't very favorable. I wonder how many of the organizers are from MA?
Hmmm. That was kinda out of the blue eh!?
Well, anyway, +1 to tubocharged for speaking up....more importantly than speaking up, he did it in a respectable manner without being condescending and did not make the rest of us look bad. Way to go man!
