The Perfect City Airport is Closing... Santa Monica
Located right in the heart of Southern California, with the Museum of Flying and easy access to a variety of food, hotels, and tourist destinations, you'd think the Santa Monica Airport would be a top destination for every pilot. Instead, it's closing completely within the next few years. Let fly the Aeronca Chief in and take a look at this great airport before it's gone.

The $35 Wireless Mic CHANGES The Game for HAM Radio!
Переглядів 10 тис.Місяць тому
These bluetooth based wireless HAM radio mics make being on the air much easier and more convenient. Instead of being tied to your radio, just connect this wireless mic to your HT or mobile radio and you're then free to walk around and multi task while not missing any radio calls or transmissions. With the standard Kenwood 2 pin connector, I use this on my Quansheng K6. At only $35 this is a no...

Just north of Riverside Airport in California, is Flabob! The 7th oldest airport in California complete with a grass runway. This year was yet another Low and Slow fly-in and it was a great event.

    If you can afford it, a satellite phone of some variety, or at a minimum a portable radio capable of transmitting on guard is a good idea. Personally, especially where I fly there are a lot of less than nice critters and lots of wide open remote spaces, a good general purpose woods gun like a .357 magnum revolver, or 10mm pistol is a good idea to have in your flight bag in case you land somewhere where wildlife is a concern.

    I totally agree. Start small and get your feet wet. Buy a $25 radio and see if you're interested. If you still aren't sure, a GMRS license is $35 and there is NO test. If you want more, the Ham Radio technician test is easy enough to study and memorize even if you don't fully understand it. Once you start using the radio you'll learn a lot more by doing, and eventually you'll understand the questions on the test. I started with a Baofeng and just listened for a couple of months. Then I got a GMRS license and got connected with a great bunch of folks on a repeater in my area. After a couple more months I decided to get my Ham license. Just the fun of making antennas out of wire or coat hangers and seeing it actually work was enough to spark more interest and I gradually improved the quality of the equipment I use. This year I got my General class license and I'm talking to people two states away and listening to people all over the world. It is a lot of fun.

      Yep get a Ham license and spend your time giving signal reports and the weather for the day. Ham Radio is like a casino. Get out before you lose all your money and a wife that wants a divorce. Messenger Pigeons were essential one hundred years ago. Technology has replaced Pigeons. Yes, Ham Radio is like Pigeons. Ham Radio was important 50 yrs ago, but now a dying breed.

    Great Video Max!!, As SoCal pilot myself, I have seen aviation under attack for the last couple of decades. From VNY having over 600,000 operations in 1990, to less than 300,000 a year in 2021, to SMO closing and now WHP in the crosshairs. When these airports are gone, they don't come back. It's really nothing more than a land grab by developers. And If we can't have an airport like WHP, in Pacoima, an industrial area, then where? And who can forget, Chicago's Meigs Field airport was bulldozed overnight in 2003, in violation of federal regulations. PS, I believe they will waive the landing fee at SMO if you get fuel. It used to be a decent price, Better than VNY.

    • @HeavyMetalHorizons
      @HeavyMetalHorizons 18 днів тому

      Hey Randy! Thanks! The landing fees aren't even that bad at SMO anyway... not for light personal planes. For me, it's about the cost of 1 gallon of 100LL. I'm going to try and get more attention to all the important roles that these airports play in the community. Not enough people realize the value.

    Bad and unlawful information in this video. First, it is illegal even to possess a receiver capable of receiving the frequencies you claim. That's a Federal crime. Next, it's not FCC certified to transmit on the frequencies that you claim it can transmit on, so that too is unlawful. That's enough right there to stay away from this HT. Additionally, even if it could RX/TX on the frequencies you claim, its antenna won't even come close to achieving that. And there's absolutely no way that HT will even come close to 10 watts PEP on that range of frequencies. Put it on a spectrum analyzer and see the real story here.
