I hope you guys will join me tomorrow as I cover the 2022 ARRL National Convention and HamCation at the Central Florida Fairgrounds! I've fished a lot (and gotten stuck!) in places where cellular service was nonexistant, so I'm putting higher importance on alternative methods of communication while off grid or during emergencies. I'll try to keep my coverage within the parameters of backcountry recreation, but I'll be glad to show or answer questions on any aspects I can! . #HamCation #HamCation2022 #ARRL #ARRLNationalConvention #arrlnationalconvention2022 #hamradio #AmateurRadio #offgrid #offgridcomms #backcountry #backcountrycommunication #flyfishing #hamradiotradeshow #hamfest #TheSuburbanAngler

Beautiful, cool Sunday morning for some Range Time! My last live-fire practice session before the Volusia County GSSF Match in New Smyrna Beach, but I could sure use a few dozen more! . #StricklandRange #VolusiaCountyPark #shootingrange #SundayGunday #rangeday #rangetime #shootingpractice #GSSF #Glock #2A #FLOutdoors #shootingsports #TheSuburbanAngler

If you're in the Port Orange area this morning, the Halifax Sport Fishing Club is having their Fishing Expo until 4:00 this afternoon! Nearly 50 local vendors are signed up for booth space and, despite the cold (by Florida standards) weather, they're having a heck of a turn out! . #HalifaxSportFishingClub #HSFC #FishingExpo #PortOrange #HalifaxRiver #swapmeet #openhouse #Florida #FloridaOutdoors #FLOutdoors #FLFishing #fishinggear #flygear #TheSuburbanAngler

Road trip preps! I'm looking forward to hitting the road and attending some fly fishing shows this year! So, I finally took the time to securely mount these Ram Mounts X-Grips on the dash of the truck. The large one holds my phone so well that I picked up the small version for my vhf/uhf radio remote head. Let's go! . #roadtrip #roadtrippreps #RamMounts #XGrip #icom #ic2730 #phone #vhfuhf #hamradio #mobilehamradio #mobileshack #146.52 #simplex #flyfishing #flyfishingshow #showcoverage #travel #comms #TheSuburbanAngler

Credentials approved and camping reservations made to once again attend one of my favorite shows of the year! I'm looking forward to seeing everyone there and, as always, I'll do my best to cover the show for those who can't make it. . #TheFlyFishingShow #TheFlyFishingShowATL #TheFlyFishingShow2022 #Atlanta #flyfishing #flygear #flyrods #flyreels #flyfishingguides #flyshop #TheSuburbanAngler

Practicing emergency communications for the next time I get stuck in the back country with no cell service! Hope you all had a fantastic New Year's Eve, and hoping 2022 is the best yet! . #emcomm #AmateurRadio #hamradio #radiopractice #emergencycommunication #backcountry #nocellservice #happynewyear #TheSuburbanAngler

Did some local exploration yesterday and came across Green Spring in Enterprise, FL. Clever name notwithstanding, it was pretty remarkable to see the jade-green water in person! One of few sulfur springs in Florida, the 76 foot deep Green Spring and it's surrounding ecosystem are definitely a sight to behold! . #GreenSpring #VolusiaCountyPark #EnterpriseFL #ItReallyIsTHATGreen #localexploration #historicalsite #archeologicalsite #historicallysignificant #sulfurspring #FloridaSprings #FLOutdoors #explore #getoutside #TheSuburbanAngler
