Zombie Squad

Bumped, been a while. Long while.

I'm in southwestern Pennsylvania. My furthest has got to be either Jim from New Zealand, or maybe the Canadian serviceman I talked to in the Indian Ocean at the Chagos archipelago.

I talked to a DXpedition at the North Pole. That was geographically interesting.

Well, I'll give a report. I'm about 25 miles SSE of Pittsburgh. We had 14" here, though a friend about 10 miles away reported more than 2 feet. I'm in the foothills of the Laurel Highlands. Further up in the highlands was where all those folks got stuck on the PA turnpike, up by Somerset. Even with ...

Mall Ninja,
This is not the place for a discussion of the pros and cons of the Patriot Act. There are many fine web site on which to discuss politics, but this is not one of them.






As you were.

Wow, Joker, 7 spelling errors in a single sentence may be a new record. https://www.zombiehunters.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=19895 2.) Proofread before posting. If it’s important enough for you to post it, you probably want us to understand it. This means using proper spelling, good grammar, pun...

Done! Keep it going!!

Can't wait!!

Thoughts of Z-Con are what are getting me through this winter from hell.

Thanks, guys, for making our jobs easier.

The banhammer hath struck the spammer.

Okay, here are my Z-Con pictures. I made an album on Facebook here

Sorry about the blurry ones.

What an awesome Z-Con. Thanks to everyone that made it a smashing success!

Pics to follow once I get back to the Burgh.

Oh, I have to sig that.

The QRP guys can really stretch it out. There's even a "1000 mile per watt" award given to anyone that makes a contact whose distance/power ratio is 1000 mi/W or over. They are usually using CW, though.

With the right antenna / propagation conditions / luck, it's amazing what radio can do.

Yeah, I'm going to move this thread over to Books.

They deserve anything they get. There are few things as loathsome as a tick.

Oh, I love permethrin day. New neighbors might think something's strange, me hanging up those clothes and such and spraying them down. Might think I already have bugs.

Anything to fight the ticks on the mountain.

This is going to be an extra-special Z-Con. I can just feel it.

Esin, Welcome to ZS. Your intro thread is interesting. I gotta say, living across the street from an Army-Navy store would be handy. :) Skill with projectile weapons is something acquired over a long time, like any other. One thing we caution against here at ZS is thinking that when disaster strikes...

Arrrrrrrrgh.

Dammit, I gotta remember to start checking here beforehand.

Yikes.

Re-opened after moderator review.

I'm closing the reports on this. This is not political per se, it's a discussion of the impact of already-passed laws. Just please do be careful to not let politics creep in.

Thanks for the patience.

I AM SO 100% LOOKING FORWARD TO FINALLY THIS!!!!

All right! We can do this! See ya there! Maybe there won't even be horrible weather.

Yeah, encryption is verboten on ham radio - all codes and ciphers are forbidden, even coded messages like "the eagle has landed at the western airport" or reading strings of digits. The plain meaning must be obvious. We do ask that illegal activities are not discussed, even hypothetically. It is obv...

Excellent work, Kyle. You seemed relaxed and poised, and your talk was funny and informative. A fine job.
