I am thankful for my RITAN family. We’ve been together for a long long time and travelled many journeys together. I can’t wait to be neighbors in Heaven and to share all of eternity in the presence of our Lord and Savior.

A Black Friday Rapture is my plea
I’m thankful for the free gift of salvation, living in America despite what’s going on in Washington, DC
and for being in this fine group of brothers and sisters as we wait 
and wait and … wait for the Blessed Trumpet sound!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Yesterday was my birthday and I had prayed for the best gift ever, to see my Lord. I woke up today and thankful to the Father for the rest. Today, was spent with family. What joy to give thanks to the Lord for the blessings He gives. My prayer, as I join the rest of the RITAN family, is no more Thanksgivings on earth and please Abba, may we spend the final month of our human calendar and existence changed in a moment and in your presence for all eternity.

It was a restful day and a good day — did pre-Thanksgiving baking with two of my granddaughters. And ate way more than I should have yesterday — got to get on the Total gym today and the elliptical for a few rounds to burn off the pie ….. My hubby bought a new HAM radio for me as this is my newest hobby (for both of us), waiting for that to come in to play with….. thank you and I am very Thankful for the encouraging family here on RITAN. Let’s continue to march forward together … encourage one another and all the more as the DAY is approaching …..

My hubby bought a new HAM radio for me
Do each of you have an amateur radio licenses, Tammie? When I was a kid I never took to getting a general class license primarily because it became boring to make contacts just to build a stack of QSL cards, or otherwise jaw a bit in Morse code to find out about what their rig was like. It was also hard to think of what to say. [Sometimes I even have that problem here at RITA.
] I also never participated in the ARRL exercises…Would you care to describe here your planned antenna system for your new setup? Maybe I’m just a wee bit too interested.
Possibly everyone else here isn’t. Maybe use a new method of communicating — a RITA Now PM (private message).

Well Dan to answer you, yes my HAM is very kosher
and no Yohanan a spelling backwards is MAH — what is that 
We both have a general license. My call sign is KQ4ELO (kilo, Quebec, 4, Echo, Lima, Oscar). Our base station is transportable (can go in the car as well), it has HF and VHF/UHF frequency capacity as well, I like to talk around the world. We have 4 handhelds (the range is shorter, even with the longer antenna – you have to go from repeater to repeater) — The antenna (tower config), is not attached to the house yet. Our neighbors (we have two within a few houses) both have the larger antenna array (one a tower and one horizontal) that we can actually link to. My hubby is a computer wiz and uses ecolink to connect our HAM to the internet also for now (as a secondary until it is not available). Our HAM club is about a mile from the house (K4CARS in Chesapeake). I am studying for the Amature extra now, heavy test, if we are still here, hope to take it in late January 2023. I bet you did not know that Morse Code is no longer required for HAM….The first step is technical and fairly easy, general and then Amature extra. Still heavily monitored by FCC, but HAM is still a smaller group, many prepper folks are HAM, a few are believers, so we are using it to reach that community as well. So far I am the one of two females in our group and the VA Beach group has none. There is a free handheld being offered until Dec 31 2022. I will get the link to you in a PM and the online study is fairly easy and some free, others in expensive. My husband and I did this as a hobby together, we have fun. We have regular radios too and my granddaughters love to call us like the HAM sets, it’s really cute, our 11 year old is going for her technical next year. We are pushing to get others in the family licensed too. Thanks for asking and I am happy to answer any Q you have —— “73” out

Oh Tammie, you are rare among the most avid, involved, well-rounded, multi-talented, versatile, hard-working and articulate people I’ve
evernever met. Thank you sincerely for the detail.You’d lose your bet about Morse code no longer being required. -.– ..- .–. My buddy told me.
A free handheld, huh? Sure! PM the link. Thanks. I have a old-time buddy about seven miles from me who last year installed a HAM station in his basement. He had to also run a new 240 volt branch circuit to power the transmitter. If I get a handheld, I could send him a cell phone text message to meet me at certain time, and then maybe his rig could maybe talk to my new handheld for free!
Yeah, it seems a pre-arranged prepper club scenario makes good sense for if and when the internet fails widely, no?
73 dear sister! And thanks again.
PS — happy belated birthday from this old guy.

Well — I will take that as a compliment
– yes I am still well rounded — working on getting that down some Covid and moving — not helpful on the weight Oh you meant in knowledge and skills not size — got it When you reach my advanced age
you have learned a few things for sure… Sorry to tell you that although Morse code is taught, not required for the technical license application any longer per the FCC so if they say you need it, don’t believe it …. I sent you the link via PM for HAM prepping, you could do this easy. A handheld is limited in range, you can extend the range with a longer attached antenna. Typically, you have about a mile, possibly two depending on time of day, height of buildings/trees around you, unless you can connect to a repeater. We have a Handheld Explorer QRZ-1 and a travel FTM 6000R both by Yaesu.

Thank you Churchgal — it was a good day, but still on earth, so not a great day
Hope everyone on RITAN had a delicious Turkey day — I watched my favorite team win yesterday afternoon, so it was a good day this Thanksgiving
