    Bigfoot

    Exactly...........Watch the video a OB member (Chadlyb ) posted in that thread. Anyone who has been in mountainous altitude, will realize just how fast ....IN THE SNOW....the BIPEDEL object is moving, without stopping for breath etc. A lot of acreage covered. It really does make you wonder!

    ??????.............................do you mean frequency's. I have a handheld HAM, just not licensed yet. If so, that would be my reason. I would not have to change on the go, but quietly listen to the weather alert on the CB unit, and the GMRS for comm's, not withstanding I am not sure...
