Andy C, and others, Thanks. I am using networks for imaging the interior of the earth, the atmosphere and ocean currents, the electron density. So yes you can use electromagnetic and gravitational fields to find your lost golf ball - one day.
@W4KRL I will be on a show showing off some of the newer things ham radio can do, well beyond sitting at home having a rag-chew (informal chit-chat)
Josh and all, I think that where we get the most traction with attracting interest and retaining interest is with anything that is activity based: SOTA, T-hunts, race comm, building antennas, projects, etc. HF keeps me interested in amateur radio, especially contesting. I operate the California QSO Party yearly and have gone on several county expeditions... a sort of SOTA on steroids. Over 40 groups went out on county expeditions last year. http://cqp.org/ BTW Josh, thanks for participating last year. You're in the results.
@W4KRL - I'm not young. I resemble that "beginner rig" remark well. ;) I do come from a different network world, but I remember dialup (I actually miss it) and being in disaster volunteering now - I see how important legacy slow data exchange will be neccessary.
@KI6NAZ Josh then you know more than I (which is nothing), but it certainly seemed weird, and if there were conflicts, shouldn't that have already been known /beforehand/? but thanks for your insight.
How can we learn more about the people who do SOTA and invite them to join other groups for county expeditions?
@Dean Yeah! That was a lot of fun!
@ziggurat29 yes, in the end it was his responsibility to cut ties and he might now have.
It was a great time
So in a way I fell in love with HAM because I wanted to re-live the old FIDO net data days. I do miss the sound of that 300 baud handshake. ;)
This was my new favorite ham meeting!
@Dean Hop on the SOTA reflector and post there.
@Andy C It turns ME off to attend a ham club! First, everyone is 110 years old and the main topic of discussion is health-related. And I hate to bring this up but I get really turned off by teh political discussions. I think it should not be part of the meeting topic but I guess it is hard for people to compartmentalise.
Thanks
Thanks to the hosts and the presenters for the convo and forum!
LOL
Its been fun! Feel free to email me or comment on YouTube. Hoshnasi@gmail.com
@Dan Twedt join the HRCC discord. There are a lot of people like this there
Super interesting discussion everyone, but our hour is up and Josh probably has to get back to the real world. I really want to thank him for spending his lunch hour with us, and to everyone for the great discussion. Feel free to stay on the channel and keep the conversation going.
Would love to keep this discussion going. Thanks to all.
Anyone have any luck with in recruiting storm spotters/ storm chaser to amateur radio? Storm spotter training season. is upon us. N0LKK

Thanks all! Keep spreading the love of radio!
I had an idea for a QSO party.. perhaps next year, people in the two states who have teams in the superbowl could contest to talk make contacts. Then the score of the game could be a multipier. What do you think?
And don't forget next week we'll turn out antennas to the skies with DIY Radio Telescopes:

My chromebook chokes on Discord for some reason.
Nice
I use my phone
Is someone going to volunteer to write up the FAQs from this chat? Are all the chats summarized, with group names and links and resources? I cannot, I don't know most of what you are talking about except in general terms.
