*****************LETS HAVE A GREAT TURNOUT*****************

I just wanted to drop a little note letting people know I was here. My call sign is WQXJ260.

I live on Long Island in Nassau County and have recently graduated from the plain old Motorola simplex radios to a Wouxon KG-935G. In doing so I started looking around on the internet and came across this group. I thought it would be a great way to meet some new people as well as have the ability to stay in touch with family over the island.

I'm looking forward to speaking with you at some point or the other.

Albert

p.s. Thanks to Greg for helping me get logged on.

Figured it out! In CHIRP, split tones are called “CROSS” I have the info if anyone needs it…

I'm offering up the Pavilion at the LI Shooting Range in Ridge. Its a huge covered area with benches. Anyone that has been to the range has seen it next to the Range Office.
I know some might think its to far but how far is it really in time from anyone?, 30, 40, 45, 50 minutes. Its under an hour for most of us. Its not like we do this all the time.

I personally thought the many mentions of social distancing and mask wearing while hunkering down and sheltering from a nuclear attack were a little ridiculous. For most of us, COVID will be the last thing on our minds should such a disaster occur but for those with pre-existing conditions who will likely not be able to seek medical attention for quite some time after such a disaster, disease and medical attention should be a significant consideration. The farther east you are on Long Island the more likely you will be to survive the blast should the attack be on the city. Surviving fallout is a matter of time and preparation. The hardest time will be the days, weeks, months and likely years following an attack. https://www.ready.gov/nuclear-explosion
