Ya know, what I find interesting in all of this discussion/thread is that for a person seeking privacy there is an incredible amount of information exposed about y’alls location and property and security. This is a semi-public forum. Easy to get into.
Same for the repeater, but even more so. A few years back a new ham expounded on his family, QTH, etc. with details on kids names and schools and medical situations, etc. Waaay to much info to be broadcasting to the local ham and, more importantly, scanner crowd. Just please be careful in your postings and QSO’s. I.....we certainly don’t want any situations to arise, driven by such personal info. Be careful out there......Rick.
