You goons should come get radios running, too.

I'm NOT a 2 meter guy. My portable rig ins strictly HF.

One of the things that happened during the inexpensive Chinese radio buying frenzy is a lot of guys heard "Ham radio! I can talk all over the world for $25!" Not so. A lot of people bought the Chinese HTs thinking that only to be disappointed.

Ham radio is a very broad hobby. It's generally associated with nerdy guys talking to someone overseas and that's what I generally do. The little backpack rig has done some amazing things. I have spoken to Australia with it before!

I've checked with the Arfhams and they say they will try and check in with me if I go on the 4th, weather depending.

I'm probably going to post a ham radio thing in the Hash and will post a link here for anyone interested.

Man, I guess I need to start checking PAHTF a little more often.

Are these shoots/meets typically at BFR then?

I'm going to keep track and try to make one sooner vs. later...I'd love to get some feedback from some of our green-eye brothers here, as this purchase has been on my radar for a while now.

My Surefire RC2 was approved today.  Should have that ready to go for the next (last?) night shoot.  
So far the whole process through Capitol Armory has been super smooth.

What's up guys.  Coming out to Pittsburgh with my wife and 6 year old next weekend

Plan on hitting the Carnegie Science Center and some other places.  Maybe Dave and Busters as son really wants to go there

Any decent hotel recommendations.  Big pool for the kid is high priority.  Any with indoor waterslides or anything?

I’ve got a gig this weekend otherwise would probably be heading to check this out tonight. Seems like it’ll be a good time with the guys they’re having teaching on-site on a more regular basis. Looks like a little more of an official training class as compared to the open shoots we keep busy with - https://benfranklinrange.com/event1/aht-bfr-night-shoot/

I don't know of any places in the area with indoor slides or water parks, but there are a handful around with pools.

Based on your noted plans (D&B's and the science center) I can only recommend staying somewhere away from Homestead (where D&B's is located). I worked in that area years ago for a very short time, and it was rough then, and have only heard it has gotten worse.

Final night shoot is March 4, the usual location.

Possibility for some BBQ before, much like last year.

If you made excuses about not coming so far, figure it out!

Yup.  Sadly just an email that Capitol Armory just sent out my 4473 to the CLEO and they have to wait the 7 days.  So stupid might not get the RC2 in time. /sigh
