There were a lot of questions last night regarding comms and specifically ham radio. Here is a link to a good thread @Kent R posted. https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/threads/why-you-need-to-buy-a-quality-handheld-portable-radio.10880/ And for those interested in classes and testing...

It was great meeting everyone last night. Really looking forward to SD's growth at these meetups. The best part is, you're there for 5 minutes and boom you have like 10 new friends! I am definitely going back to that spot, the Pokè and Ceviche were awesome! Looking forward to seeing all of...

Nice. I just got here.

I am going to try and get down to Del Mar tonight. It's only about an hour for me. I'll check traffic, if it's decent I'll head down! How's the location, people hang out in the parking lot or is this a sit-down restaurant kind of thing?

@slomatt, Everything I'm reading makes sense, you're spot on that people's contributions, civility and willingness to support all levels of members skill is what makes OB great! And the lack of trolls! I don't understand where the idea that members are being measured is coming from? I do local...

Absolutely!!!

Hey everyone! Thanks again to all those that went. It was a great day. I feel very honored to be a part of such an awesome community. Here is a link to the pics I took on the trip, all 204 of them! You are bound to find one of your Rig that you like I have two folders in there, one is high...

That's one way to look at it, that is not the intended view of course. The reason the group is private is because of the inherent differences in a platform like facebook vs a forum. A forum forces no personal identification. You can make up a handle, show any photo you like, and share as little...

This is correct.

Sounds good. I have been talking with Kent as well over the last couple days. Some great things on the horizon. See you tomorrow!

Great points! Also, make sure your vehicle's cooling systems are working well and you have AC. It's going to be HOT

Oh wow Terry, that's big news! I hope everything is ok and this is a good move. We're going to miss you! Does this mean we'll get to see you for the July meet or this trail run?

Two have canceled, just waiting for them to clear out their RSVPs so you and anyone else can jump in.

Make sure you RSVP. This Tun is capped at 15.

Sorry to hear it. Hope things turn out ok. Next time.

Fe Awesome. It's pretty fun and can get pretty interesting when you start playing APRS GPS stuff. It's super useful off road and off grid.

Doh! Thanks Rob!

Thank you for reminding me, this was on my list of things to do. The ideal scenario is that everyone has a HAM radio. You can get one for $30 on Amazon. Link to Baofeng UV-5R + Whip antenna You do need a license to transmit, but you do not need a license to listen or transmit in an emergency...

I'll do my best. There likely will be, usually always is as things come up and people can't make it. Check the 48 hours before and see. I will try to notify you but I don't get alerts when people cancel.

Whichever you want to get dirty. I think there will be another Montero joining as well if that matters :)
