Everything we'll be doing is totally stock friendly. We probably won't be out of 2wd at all.

They are different services with different core purposes. They are separate because some people don't want to take a test or understand the technical differences in equipment. Some folks just want simple "turn on a radio and talk" and that's kinda where GMRS/FRS falls. Similar to cell phone...

Little update: We were talking yesterday about getting a bite to eat after the ride but couldn't figure out a good place to go so we are going to try to end the ride at a camp site or picnic shelter or similar location and everyone fix themselves something to eat for supper on our camp gear...

That stinks man, but I understand just wanting to have one toy. I still have a Camaro I need to get going or get rid of....

Most of the folks I run with have Ham and GMRS. Its nice that we can use either depending on what the group has available. Some folks only use the GMRS and when that happens, it's not an issue as we all have it available. However, we've run into situations where the added power and range of Ham...

Good! Hope you can make it out some more!

Hey Bob! Haven't heard from you in a while. Still rocking the X?

Hey folks! We decided to do a separate RP for next month's meetup to try to get in touch with any new members in our area who might not have seen this meet-up thread and might like to come out. We're planning a day trip through the country side and try to find some place to grab some supper...

This will be a day trip through Botetourt and Craig Counties to enjoy some of the fall scenery and spend some time hanging out in the woods and supper together in the great outdoors.View Rally Point

A single ticket is only good for one person. I recently talked with Ranger Fury about it. You'll need a ticket for every person you plan to bring.

We're looking into an overland day trip next month. Probably going to do a separate rally point for it, try to get the info out to new folks in the area that might not have found our thread here. In the talks are a couple mild offroad trails that intersect the Parkway and finishing out the...

Headed to Roanoke in a bit! Wife wants to do some furniture shopping and we'll see anyone who can make it out at 3!

That's no good.

Yep. Got some buddies coming in Saturday for some Xterra work. I think we'll have to set up the canopies and tarps. Oh well!

Anyone around or free to do something Sunday? Coffee/BBQ meetup? Maybe hang out in the woods around a fire?

Thanks! I had some buddies there but didn't make it over myself. Hard to justify the money to hang out in my back yard like that. Keep an eye out on the meet-ups! We have one here around Roanoke most months. The last few months folks have been busy so its fallen off, but hope to wake it back up...

Welcome from down in Covington, Va!

I'll probably be around, doubt I show up down at the field though. Wife is having friends over on the 13th.

All the info can be found in the current thread! https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/threads/ham-radio-weekly-net.20796/

It only operates over the air if you have a local repeater with Echolink you can secure permission to use for the net. There is a writeup here for using Echolink I believe. It's pretty simple. All you need is a device like a computer or smart device (phone, tablet, ect) and internet access...
