somebody told me there still was a firefighters net on 20M but I haven't found it. Have been a Firefighter for 51 yeas and a Ham oporator for 51 years. Would be nice to have a net.

Hey Jim thanks for the friend invite. I will tell you what the Navy is changing too much and to be honest for the past 4 years all i can think about is going back home and getting back to what i love the most and that is the fire dept. Just found out yesterday they are going to kick me out in the next 6 months because of a 1/2 inch in height for the prt. Won't hold any grudges though if they do.

I have used both, garrities and now a firefox helmet light. If you have a full shield, I recommend the garrity light, because it doesn't interfere with the range of movement of the shield. I have bourkes, and my firefox is not only brighter but ...

This is still improper. Nozzle man needs to get that line out in front of him for better movement and ease of control. Otherwise he is just fighting the hose and not letting the hose work.
