I was on a map the other day and I saw this guy super bounce. Super bouncing can give you a unfair advantage but is not considered cheating according to Bungie. Here is a how to video that you might find helpful.

I had a couple of friends ask me how the FCC allocates amateur radio call signs. For example why would someone receive KC9IHP who lives in Northern Indiana opposed to WD8OLG who lives in Southern Michigan. Here is the answer.

About two years ago I lost my beloved VX-5R in the Chicago Ohare Airport. I was on a trip and I had the radio strapped to my bookbag and it either fell off or someone ganked it. Anyway I was heart broken about losing it and the thought of having to replace it saddened me. Well, my awesome girlfriend at the time, soon to be wife currently, bought me a VX-7R for my birthday to replace it!! It has got to be one of the best handie talkies out on the market at the moment. Right along next to the Kenwood TH-F6A. It does everything the VX-5R did and more!! It also has the capability to transmit 0.3mw on 220/1.25m. It can also be modified with FREE VX7Commander Software to transmit out of band. Anyway here are all my frequencies off of my VX-7R. I have all of the local repeaters, Elkhart County and City Police Freqs, local resturants and many more. The csv file can be opened using any spreadsheet application like Microsoft Excel. The vx7 file has to be opened by VX7 Commander

Yaesu has just introduced the VX-6R to the VX series of Handy Talkies. The 6R is very similar to the VX-5R and VX-7R in that it transmits on 2m and 70cm and has a wide receive capability. They 6R seems to be a clone of the 7R without the ability to transmit on 6m/54mhz. The kicker is the 6R will transmit on 1.25m/220mhz at 1.5 watts which exceeds the 7R’s 300mw. The list price on the new radio is $256 at Ham Radio Outlet
