    Real Pizza Coming to Texas

    This is seriously good pizza in LV http://www.nakedcitylv.com/ They do a Buffalo NY style pie. It is really very good. I've spent more time in LV than I ever care to due to having family and property there. I do not deal with the strip and this is about as close as I like to come to the...

    http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/09/13/goodell-must-go-banners-will-fly-over-four-stadiums-in-week-two/ Hmm, anyone want to make a case about how the TFR is an infringement of freedom of expression?

    KDPA Du Page night approach procedures

    Why does the runway closure affect the approach being available? Is there not a circle to land option or if a pilot were to request it with the intent to go missed for practice? I know I have shot approaches at airport where the runway for that approach was not available to land and it was...

    IFR departure from 06C

    I'm local There are some pretty big antenna towers nearby and they have big guy wire systems. Not entirely safe to be there without being up and into the bravo which is hard to do while VFR as Chi-App seldoms grants VFR into the bravo. Also you are right below an ORD approach. So working in...

    Furthest FM radio station you've heard...

    Rohn 25 would suffice for that. I have three pieces including a bottom, middle and top, the house bracket and the base. I will let you have it! Just come and pick it up. I no longer need it and want it out of my garage.

    Furthest FM radio station you've heard...

    I made a contact in the LA area using WSJT on meteor scatter propagation mode at 144MHz using 12.5 Watts into a 14-element Yagi from Chicago. Meteor scatter is really fun, bouncing signals off of ionized meteors entering the atmosphere is a hoot! Did some aurora work across the plains...

    Furthest FM radio station you've heard...

    FM is a type of modulation and is not a primary decider of propagation modes. That would be more related to the frequency band it is operating on. FWIW the FM Broadcast band in the US us VHF (87-108MHz) so acts a lot like any other VHF band and is mostly line of of sight. The aviation band uses...

    Got a bone to pick with ClearChannel Media...

    People still listen to the radio in their cars? WOW so retro. I thought it was all podcasts, Sirius and mp3 music these days. Radio sucks and has since the big 5 media companies bought all the radio stations in the 1990s.

    If you're flying /G expect 'Clear to the KUZA airport, radar vectors EON then as filled (typically direct), maintain 3000, heading 180, contact departure on 120.55 squawk XXXX' The rock are easily flow with the altitude you are saying. BTDT in a Cherokee.
