I'm in the middle of building an APRS tracker out of a TinyTrak 4, an old Garmin GPS and the Yaesu VX-2 you see in the photo. I'm interested in digital modes, but that's going to become an expensive hobby indeed!<br /><br />S24O is a term coined by the founder of Rivendell Bicycles, and it means a "Sub-24 Hour overnight" bicycle trip. It was designed to be constrained to 24 hours for convenience sake. It's basically a a one-night backpacking trip, except you use a bicycle to get to your destination.

Callsign is N0HYD - I have the Yeasu VX-5 - great radio!<br /><br />I ride a SWB recumbent, and would love to commute to work. However I live in western Olathe and work a 435 & Metcalf. Looks like about a 16 mile one-way trip. Legs not ready for that round trip yet. I have been a casual on and off rider, but would like to ramp it up a bit this year.<br /><br />You have a great blog!<br /><br />BTW - what is an S240 adventure?Burke Jones - N0HYDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16920547155936279559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37888568.post-59249810064223188322011-03-15T09:33:11.919-05:002011-03-15T09:33:11.919-05:00I just stumbled onto you great blog yesterday - yo...I just stumbled onto you great blog yesterday - you wasted a bunch of my time yesterday as I read your posts! :)<br /><br />I have been a ham since about 1990when I took a class for credit at K-State - I hold a General ticket.<br /><br />I ride a SWB recumbent, and would love to commute to work.
