  4. He's also indicating a B licence.... my guess is that his stats are not up-to-date "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  5. well thank goodness this thread is about packing... I thought perhaps you'd just done your first Girl Scout "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  6. Lots of good stuff here: http://www.dropzone.com/safety/ I like this http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/safety/detail_page.cgi?ID=81 "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  7. Pretty easy to solver here in Alberta. Like the ASPA page... the Eden North, Edmonton Skydive, Skydive Big Sky pages etc. Find people that you know at those dropzones and do the friend requests. You have to have met people at dropzone here. I have over 400 FB friends... most are skydivers, the great majority from Alberta.

  10. And that would be why there was such a clamor about the Argus AAD. When its cutter failed to fully cut some loops with the potential of interfering with the normal deployment process, or the potential for a partially cut loop breaking fully during a subsequent jump, some manufactures/countries/DZs banned it.

  11. In the grand scheme of things a Skyhook is just another version of an RSL and if you search on here you will find there are both pros and cons to every RSL including the Skyhook. So read up and perhaps it will help you make a decision. "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  12. ***I'm generally opposed to the idea of trying to outwit the idiots. Booth's Law comes into play here. "The safer skydiving gear becomes, the more chances skydivers will take, in order to keep the fatality rate constant." And they'll just make a better idiot !
  13. I had this concern to and spoke with Roger Allen of Alti-2 shortly after the N3a was introduced. His perspective was that he had observed numerous younger jumpers jumping with headphones and listening to music. He developed the N3a for those people with the idea of providing an audible alarm to jumpers already listening to musics as another device to promote safety. I don't think it was his intention to promote jumping with music, but rather to provide a audible device to those that already were. Just my view of the situation after talking with Roger. Personally I like my N3 and I can't conceive of a situation where I would jump with headphones. I need what few brain cells I have left to concentrate on the skydive "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  14. see this thread http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=4146068 "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  15. The receivers I mentioned above are pretty good even on chest straps. When a student is still a few hundred feet up and a feet hundred feet away from me I can make out my own voice coming from their radio. I figure if I can hear it from that far away, they should be able to hear it too. "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  16. Since you want USPA info for verification purposes, are you only wanting input from USPA members? I am Canadian and as such not a USPA member. Survey froze when I entered None for USPA ratings and text explaining I am not a USPA member "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  17. Sent it to one of my Barbershop buddies that has an Android phone, then had to send him a link to an app to read the codes... we'll see how teachable old Barbershoppers are! I may eventually have to get a phone that does more than just let me talk. "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

  19. I have no experience with that model. This is what we use and they work very well http://www.motorola.com/Business/US-EN/Business+Product+and+Services/Two-Way+Radios+and+Pagers+-+Business/Pagers/MINITOR+V_US-EN There are more features than what we need/use but very good as student radios "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  20. Thanks Jeanne! "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  21. Thanks guys that's what I need to know. Very much appreciated!!! "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  22. Hi all, I sing in both a Barbershop Quartet and Chorus. Now let's be blunt - Barbershop is full of guys like me... over 50 and over weight... and the music is not as main stream as other music. none the less we Barbershoppers need to market ourselves both to attract new members (old guys die off... attrition is a problem!) and our shows. To that end I have generated a QR code to include on our printed materials to make our information easier to find. BUT I don't have a smartphone to test it. Can someone scan this code with a smartphone and verify that it takes you to our website? Thanks, Ian "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
