    (Another) New AMC Logo!

    Last time I checked VFTT is in need of more than $3000 to keep it going. Maybe The AMC will make a donation.

    Footwear of Hut Crews

    Fabiano actually originated out of a shoe repair shop in Boston by an Italian immigrant. Scarpa eventually took them under their hood and sold Fabiano as there High End Line adjacent to the already existing Scarpa line. While working in the Outdoor Industry full time back in the 90’s we sold...

    (Another) New AMC Logo!

    So in one sentence you are denouncing racism and then in another you advocate it because someone deserved it. Seems like a double standard or am I missing something? Ironically that is my main problem with The AMC. Double standards.

    Once again coming from the guy who posted this with his deck of virtue cards.

    (Another) New AMC Logo!

    It’s not just New Hampshire it’s National Forest Land and The AMC leases most of it. So please before you start to wield The AMC virtue card let’s just agree to disagree as you and others already know my stance on that non-profit excuse of a business.

    (Another) New AMC Logo!

    Probably a different committee and a different budget. Not sure if it is still the case but at one point The AMC was raping the public at The Huts in New Hampshire and spending the proceeds out of State on agendas like their Maine Woods Initiative. My guess would be that the new change from...

    Ham radio: any SOTA chasers here

    I agree UHF and VHF activity is minimal on repeaters. Although back to the OP much more activity on simplex especially SOTA and POTA. I spent most of my operating time on HF which is very active.

    Ham radio: any SOTA chasers here

    CW your using grey matter in the present. FT-8 is preprogramed and built around macros. I see a big difference between those modes. Best thing about HAM radio as a hobby is there is something for everyone.

    Ham radio: any SOTA chasers here

    Interesting technology but not HAM. Don’t think you’ll being doing much SOTA.

    Ham radio: any SOTA chasers here

    Something kind of mindless about FT-8. I guess I just have a problem with letting a computer detecting and encoding sub-audible transmissions. I do delve into it now and again but I like a more interactive experience. Granted it’s OK when other modes are long but I’d rather operate with more of...

    Ham radio: any SOTA chasers here

    Not a contester but do enjoy the QRP DX. Best part of being on the eastern flank of the Whites is not only SOTA but going 180 degrees and having pretty much unobstructed line of sight to The Atlantic. Looking at your QRZ page glad to see I’m not the only operator that got delegated to the...

    Ham radio: any SOTA chasers here

    Myself and my KX3 have sporadically done both chasing and activating. Living at the foot of the White Mountains provides well for both as there is an active hiking base to begin with. I have spent a good portion of my time activating sub 3000 foot and 2000 foot peaks as they are way more obscure...

    Grand Teton FKT rejected...

    Ouch..tough group that FKT. They sure like splitting hairs. Guess I can see this one not counting due to the cited reason in the article. Although the attempt for a non-supported NH 48 awhile back that was rejected due to the placement of camera batteries in order to record the event by the...

    Looking for a new hiking map app

    I here you. It's changed even more since '83. I think there were less than 150-200 of us finishers then and very few known winter finishers. Don't know if I would even bother with it now. The impact of large groups is the most discerning. Seeing groups of 10 or more on Peaks where what use to...
