Looking to rent a snowmobile for 3 days Feb 22-25

Looking to rent a snowmobile. I would need it dropped off at my place and picked up later. It would be used on my property mainly going up and down driveway.
Please call or text Fred at 616 402-5511

Re: Potential Philosophy Club or Socrates Cafe?

Absolutely, I would attend any time I'm on the island, which is about every month and a half. Great idea!

phone and internet

I don't know what the best option is but I use TDS for phone and DSL internet and am satisfied. It has almost never gone down. The speed is good enough for movies. I'm only checking into HAM stuff for outside emergencies or if the phone/internet went out.

40 m band

Larry, you must be able to go pretty far with that band. My radio doesn't include that band unfortunately.

PL tones

yes, I did program the PL tone frequencies for both RX and TX. I also programmed a second channel with those frequencies reversed just in case.

reply to John

I was able to hear one of the Stutsmanville repeaters but not able to transmit to anyone using it. I think it's because of my location just west of Angeline's Bluff on the west side of the island. But I now have a bigger antenna for my hand-held and will try again next time I'm there. My call is KD8...

I have the same question. I got a hand-held two way radio for frequencies 136-174 MHz and 400-520 MHz. I'd like to be able to use it in an emergency if there's no phone service in the cabin or if I'm outside and can't get to the cabin to phone. No cellular in either place. I have a HAM license. I as...

Thank you very much Adam, I appreciate it. Hopefully I'll be able to find it eventually. Good to know someone bought Bill's property with the log barn there.

LOST model airplane

I lost a model glider Tuesday June 20 within a mile of Left's Point. If anyone finds it, my number is 616 402-5511 or if you could just put it on the porch of my cabin at 32950 Mrs Reddings Trail.
Thanks, :cry:

Mosquitos

That's an interesting idea. I have another idea. Because the lake level is higher this year, it seems like there are increased mosquito breeding grounds on the Western shore beaches. It seems like the stony/grassy beaches there collect shallow areas of standing water when the lake level rises and id...

Lost plane

Hi, One of my videoplanes went down somewhere about 1/4 to 1/2 mile east of my place this past weekend. It's a foam plane. Most likely it's in a treetop right now, but I thought I'd put this out there in case anyone happens to see it. It would be between Angeline's Bluff and West Side Road about 1 1...
