Every 8 to 10 years I get a new ARRL Repeater Directory, whether I really need one or not. Really, my last one I got in 2008.
I like 3 things:
1. It is ring bound and lies flat in your lap or on a table while you program your radio. The older books would always slam shut if you let go of them. I remember photocopying the pages and highlighting the repeaters I wanted just so the book slamming shut would not drive me nuts!
2. The print is big. Real big. I just can't see those little pocket sized ones anymore. I used to set the copier to 300% enlarge!
3. It comes with a mobile app that runs on Apple IOS and/or Android. Not sure what all it does as I haven't loaded it on the Kindle yet. I do not own a smart phone.
There's a lot of new stuff in there I need to catch up on. I think this fall I'll make a big push to get more involved in the local ARES like I used to be. First I need to blow the memories out of my dual band mobile and get that all updated.
But I got some stuff that needs attention before that...
Anyway the directory is $15 on sale. Anybody using the app?
