Welcome from another Texan. Yep, you sure won't have a problem with the cold and snow here! ::)
-
we get cold and snow here in TX. In Austin we had 2 days of snow (the best kind -- that doesn't accumulate) and it was cold at least 2 weeks according to my wife. I'd say it was really cold only maybe one day.
So yeah... I'm in TX, I'm actually in Round Rock just north of Austin. And I noticed the bob & mike comment. I guess I just make that problem worse :)

Welcome to the site
-
I know Round Rock well, best tacos are at Speedy tacos n more on north Mays. Jesse (the father and owner) and Greg (one of his sons) are the main personalities there.

Another Texan here, south of SA..
-
Welcome to the group!
-
Welcome. We have a lot of TEX _ASS here ;D
-
true story: I once had TEXASS written on my ass. Drunken dotcom days... that's about all I can say about that.
-
that does sound like a very interesting story :o
-
That isn't much, for the really interesting $#!7, you have to live here, and be part of the stuff we don't tell anyone.
-
Coastal Bend area here. If we have a Tsunami you won't hear from me again.
-
Welcome to the group Twistedrods. Glad to see that you made it over. This actually a pretty good forum, in spite of the abnormally high percentage of Texans. Anyhow, enjoy yourself.

Yet another Texan here. Just starting out, what study web site does anyone recommend? Where should I begin?
-
If you have the money ($50) www.hamtestonline.com (http://www.hamtestonline.com)
Or if you feel lucky, they(HTOL) gave me a free Tech and General class subscription to raffle off soon. The raffle will be open to new members or those that dont have any license yet. I will be putting out a newsletter next week some time letting everyone know. So tell your friends.
-
Welcome to the group, unseen. I would recommend you take the free "test drive" at HTOL. You can always buy a subscription after that if you didn't win one.
That way you're still making steady progress toward a license and haven't wasted time or money. Good luck!!!
-
Thanks for the Advice... I took the test drive, and the plunge. Pass the tech and general today. I need to work on a mobile antenna install next... and continue studying for the extra.. htol is great.
-
Well, its been 1 year and 8 days since anyone has posted in here. Figured I would break the silence. LOL
-
Thanks for coming by. Its been slow but traffic is picking up now.
-
I guess I killed the thread, nobody ever responded to my post.
-
OK Folks let's wake this place up!! HELLOOOOOO!
-
What part of TX you from? [ym imgc=14][/ym]
-
What the hell took you so long to post ;D
-
Hey JNR! Seems we frequent a bunch of the same sites.
-
West of the Pecos member here. Im in Pecos County. General class.
-
I'm in the Austin area.. I need find a crack Elmer with an antenna analyzer to help me set up a new antenna I've got coming.
-
I'm from the Coastal Bend Region. Yeah Clovis, we do frequent several of the same sites.
And any other Texans on here, check out the Texas Preparedness Group , All Texas, A place to meet ,fing a group , and learn , lots of info on that site.
-
Lets try this, I don't know about y'all, but the repeater listings that are out there leave a lot to be desired as far as up to date and right. How about we give the top three or four 2m or 70cm repeater freqs from whatever area you are in , at least we will know those work if we are on a trip and happen to be in your area.
Corpus Christi,(South Texas Amateur Radio Club, STARC) main 2m located in Petronilla,NW of CC covers a pretty large area . 146.82 - 107.2, CC SW Lynx/SaltGrass 146.840 - 162.2, Refugio, good coverage on US 77 from S of Victoria to South of CC 147.180 + 136.5, Rockport, 147.260 + 103.5, Taft/Odem, 444.800 + 114.8

And now there are deaths in Greg county (Longview) too. Apparently there's more to this story than we are being told.

Hmmm... no activity here for nearly 4 years. Is anyone still alive? I'm in the Texarkana corner of Texas. General Class, thinking about going for Extra. Gotta tilt my tower over and replace all the coax that's been up there since 1990 and spruce up my antennas.
