The first picture here is some of the suggestions for names and logos for our local professional minor league baseball team that started playing last year. These ideas were submitted by normal members of the community. Look at how bright and fun they are - and each idea celebrates some aspect of local culture. Literally any one of these would have been better than what the bureaucrats settled on.
The second picture shows what the bureaucrats settled on after spending a million dollars and doing tons of “research”. Look at how daggaum ugly and stupid the Tri-State Coal Cats logo is. If the people getting to make these decisions fell into a field of flowers, they’d land in the only spot with briars. I wish the Appalachian League of professional baseball would kick them out, make them fire the bureaucrats, and start over.

Baofeng K63… I forgot to mention in the video that the battery has a USB-C charge port, so it can be easily recharged in the backcountry with a power bank or a solar charger. Also, the battery allows for something like 12 hours straight usage, and 22 hours monitoring.

I’ve been using AI to answer all my questions and learn these radios. Here is some of my conversations with my good ol’ buddy ‘Chatty’ George P. Tooley (some call him ChatGPT) for your benefit and so you can see where I started and how I began to learn the ins and outs.

On your Baofeng radio screen, the two sets of numbers you see represent two different frequency channels, and here’s how they function:
Top Frequency (Display A):
• In your photo: 155.725
• This is the active transmitting/receiving frequency when you’re on “A” (upper) channel.
• It is usually the main frequency you’re using to talk or listen unless you switch to the other.
Bottom Frequency (Display B):
• In your photo: 471.665
• This is a second frequency you can monitor or switch to quickly.
• It’s handy for dual watch or dual standby — the radio can listen to both frequencies and let you know when activity occurs on either.
