So what did you get for Christmas??? I got a $500 gift card for Future Shop, I think a laptop is in my future.. A very nice sleeping bag, And the usual stuff, clothes ,candy etc... Sixer
I got myself that Baofeng UV-5R 2m/70cm transceiver I have been waiting patiently for. Actually it came earlier but waited until Christmas eve to open it.
Next thing I knew it took me all night dinking around with it trying to figure out how to program it but now I successfully have all MURS/FRS/GMRS frequencies in it along with 6 local ham repeaters which all respond with good strength. I'll report about it in the thread I made just for that radio later on when I play with it more.
Also got a cast iron skillet, a mandolin for food slicing and a nice cheese cutter. One of my other favorite hobbies is cooking ;D
Wondering if there will be any shortwave pirates on air tonight. May give my SW radio a quick dial spin later on in the evening.
