Thanks for the enjoyable flight! I've always wanted to try Aeronautical Mobile back when I was flying low and slow in my old C-120. Looks like a lot of fun! Tell me, were you calling CQ on 146.52 Mhz Simplex or on a repeater? Either way, great response from the local hams. I stopped off at the KTIW airport diner last March when I came thru from my QTH in the DFW area. A very nice diner as I recall. Thanks and 73 de K5CMO.
Hello there and glad you enjoyed the flight! I was calling on 142.520 simplex. There’s a fair amount of ham operators that include that in their scan. I’ve made around 2000 contacts from the airplane with about 300 of them being new contacts.
This is so awesome! My son and I drive by this runway often! I'm gonna get my license so I can take him flying. Our goal is to land at this airport 😂
