GAPP will now be offering 2 new courses geared toward introducing people to action shooting sports... specifically IDPA and 3 gun competition. These courses will be fast paced and cover much of what a new or novice shooter needs to safely complete their first match and/or improve their gaming skills. We will be holding these courses June 21 and 22 at Buckeye Gun Club in Barnegat, NJ. For a full course descriptions and registration, go to:
Have you done any research into the cost and licensing requirements to run a repeater? We own some mountainous acreage in a very rural part of Virginia RIdge and Valley country that serves as vacation place and potential SHTF retreat.

I wouldn't do it just for Ham or GMRS radio, but if I could get expanded cell coverage, and/or satellite internet (Dish or Starlink) as well, from one tower, I might go for it.
