No, but I'll tell ya, the number of green boxes (flash flood warnings) on the NEXRAD is amazing.
A small rodent has damaged the phone wiring in the attic. Tonight, after a 97 degree day, or whatever it was, I get to crawl around in the attic that is more like an oven.
I'm going to run new wiring from the outside box by pulling with the old wiring. (crossing fingers) Trill and I have our handi-talkies charged for the purpose.
It does seem like overkill though, to use expensive 4-band (50 mHz, 144 mHz, 440 mHz, and 1200 mHz) handi-talkies that, under the correct conditions, and with repeaters can let me communicate for probably 60 miles to talk across a space of about 100 ft. ;>)
We'll turn the power down to about 50 mW and work on 1.2 gHz. Try not to burn up too much bandwidth. 8>)
