Agreed. There’s nothing wrong with being proactive, prepared, well-informed, and open-minded.

No need to stop posting. you and i have difference of opinion on this subject and there is nothing wrong with that. i simply stated where my comment came from is all. Everyone is going to butt heads somewhere at some point, specially with ALOT of people stuck at home.
Dont take what im saying to heart, hell i may have done that myself with you post. usually my comments are short and sound direct. An old habit of running a business where everyone wants to email you instead of picking up the phone. you run off on something too much in an email and people want to fire that crap back at you in a heartbeat because "its in writing and this is what you said". Oh f**k off with that shit.
Back on HAM stuff, how many of you own your own repeaters?
No repeater or license yet. I studied and waned to take my test but the clubs seem to not be testing due to social distancing.
I do listen with my Baofeng BF-F8HP though.
Back in HS I had a CB radio, in my car, with a 100 watt linear amp. I use to go up the highest hill in the area and transmit/listen for hours. Could go quite a ways.
I used to run a CB in my truck for when i was driving from MN to UT or AZ and talk with the truckers at night about short cuts and speed traps and stuff. I loved it.
Well, today was interesting. Talking to customers during the day, found out that the police were pulling everyone over on the main 2-laner between two towns (Pewamo and Fowler) and questioning them as to where they were going/coming from.
Wow.
Wow.
Things are all still pretty normal here, kiddo is home from school everyday, still full shop with guys working, not letting customers hang around the shop though, drop and go only!! Trying to be extra careful, having a autoimmune disorder makes me a lil nervous!
Stay safe everyone!
Stay safe everyone!
My son works for a local police department. Their orders are not to pull anyone over, not even for moving violations. In fact they have been told to stay in the office and only leave to handle 911 calls as they come in. They are extremely bored...

Ohio is pretty much the same, BIL is. Local PD, they where told don't do anything unless it's a felony, Cincinnati has a list,
Which is funny because state boys and Dot were thick this week
Same thing here for state troopers but city cops are still running around.
Hmmmm Mexico street runs anyone?
Sorry to read this. You seem to be a pretty smart person and somehow you'll get through this.

Thanks. I got a phone interview lined up Tuesday for another job and have my application in for several maintenance positions at the state University. Hopefully something pans out from one of these.
I do not understand a company firing someone for this BS. What are they going to do when all this blows over?
I feel very fortunate with my job. I've been off for a week(paid) and next week they told us about work with the outside contractors. They are also giving us a compensation for the working conditions. We are to all were our PPE equipment and keep doing our safe working habits. Basically we will be paid for 8-hours to babysit these guys. At least I'll be out of the house. Getting cabin fever after a week. Stay safe everyone.
Be safe Greg. I am working every day as well. Never know where you might be infected being out. It might seem crazy, but this is very serious. Social distancing does work. Be glad we are not in a high density populated area. we probably will have a slower rise in cases here in California.
How you doing Steve? Long time. Hope you and your family are safe and sound.
