Colorado Meet-Up

Steve2003 · Feb 11, 2015

Its been a while since we had one of our scanner meetups. Any interest from the CO community in setting something up? Anyone have any thoughts? Time / Place?

Technology-wise, a lot has changed since we did our last meet. Just this week two users have reached out asking for help with their new BCD436HP scanners. I would be more than happy to do a training session and help the folks who need it. Also wouldn't mind seeing how others are making use of SDR/Dongles.

If there is still interest in doing one of these I say we set something up at least a month in advance.

Yes yes and we could even make it a virtual meeting via Skype or such for those unable to attend in-person.

Luke's pizza place is pretty centrally located and now that Erik's back maybe he'll have some ideas.

We should discuss our use of Zello also for those unfamiliar.

Great suggestion Steve.

Count me in! Steve bring your dongles, laptop, and whatever else is required for it to work - I'm definitely interested!

I'm game as well, a Pizza place sounds great (as long as it's NOT in Westminster, the city I've come to hate, lol...)

dw2872 · Feb 11, 2015

Haha. Radio-dark Westy, not there.

Count me in too. I'll have a 436 and I'll bring it up from Colorado Springs with me as well.

N0GTG · Feb 14, 2015

I'll be there! I'm looking forward to it. It's been a long time, and lots of new stuff since the last time - Zello, 436/536, Phase II, FRCC, MARC, etc.

ecanderson · Feb 17, 2015

Didn't we go through this before. Isn't 'Luke's' actually known by a different name?

N0GTG · Feb 17, 2015

Yes, now it's Lubo's NY Pizza. LuBo's NY Pizza

Aargh. Now I recall why I didn't make the last one. You guys are half way to Amarillo, Texas. At some point, would the group consider something a little more centrally located? Centennial is a long way from Longmont.

dw2872 · Feb 18, 2015

I'm in Colorado Springs. Sounds centrally located to me. I'm not going to Longmont.

ecanderson · Feb 18, 2015

Um... really wouldn't have expected that.
Yeah, Centennial is as far for you as for me, almost on the money.
Is it really practical to do an "all Colorado" meet? What about those poor folks in Durango???

dw2872 · Feb 18, 2015

I'll be trying to do one down here soon too. You should see about interest up north and have one up there after this one. I'm sure there are plenty of people on the north side but getting hold of them is the hard part b

BOWLERPBA58 · Feb 18, 2015

I'm here in Longmont and would be more than happy to share a ride. I definitely will be there as long as it is not around the 10 of May.

ecanderson · Feb 18, 2015

Hey, Bowler -- good to see another poster from the northlands. I see it's your first. We'll see what date is set and try to get it onto the calendar early since it's quite the trek from here. I wonder if we can talk HalfPint (haven't seen him in ages) and a few others into a shared commute as well? I can haul four easily, five if we don't have more than one that is 'girth challenged'. The two of us can discuss the finer points of lane oil and finishes and bore the other three to tears!

BOWLERPBA58 · Feb 19, 2015

Actually, its not my first--when I had to re-set my password it put me back to my 1st post. If you are ever by the Elks Lodge at 3rd and Coffman St. stop in. I'm usually there after work every day, and we can cuss and discuss everything from scanners to lane oil.

ecanderson · Feb 20, 2015

Do I look for the guy with the '300' pin in his lapel, or how will I recognize you?

BOWLERPBA58 · Feb 21, 2015

I'm the guy usually wearing Hawaiian shirts but no 300 rings on. My 436 he is there to remind me to get home. Everyone knows me just ask for mark

I'd like to go but, the past few years haven't been all that nice to me and I just don't travel all that well. I have a fairly large `support system' that I have to have with me if I'm going out for an `extended' time and/or have to be `mobile' wherever I'm going. (I've always known that this would eventually come to pass but, just didn't figure it would happen quite as soon as it has.{WanGrin!})

Suavechef · Feb 23, 2015

I could possibly go. The good news is that LuBo's is around the corner from me. Actually I drive by it every day on my way home from work. It would all depend on date and time.

natedawg1604 · Feb 23, 2015

Will I need a secret passcode to get the date and time for this gathering, or will it be posted on this thread...?
