Overdue Credit
Just a quick little post to remind folks that this Internet thing we frequent here is a community much more than it is a bunch of individuals. From time to time I am able to string a few coherent words together, occasionally they make sense and from time to time I even get it right. Most of my knowledge and ideas sprig from resources on the ‘Net. And there’s no bigger repository of fact in one place when it comes to consumer level GPS and the communications arts than:
This site is a labor of love by Jack Yeazel N4TEB, Joe Mehaffey W2JO and Dale DePriest
There are links to virtually everything you could ever want to know about personal GPS and a whole, whole lot more. DO NOT go there if you have any appointments coming up soon or you have promised to clean out the garage, because you will spend time there.
For those of you who aren’t familiar with the call signs I included after Jack and Joe’s names, these are there Amateur Radio call signs. Amateur Ham) radio is probably endangered in some ways by the Internet, I know more than few Hams who now spend all their time on line rather than on air … but it’s a great hobby and a very worthwhile resource in emergencies, and I take my hat off to Hams everywhere.
We now resume our regularly scheduled programming
