That is GREAT intel, where can we find the status of PMR? Is there a website?

PMR and Flagpole Knob are not far from each other and I certainly would like to do PMR also while I’m down there

Emojis don’t seem to work on here... but there’s no better word lol Just to clarify, this trip is planned for 7 April 2021 (Flagpole Knob) and 8 April 2021 for MABDR

The plan is to go in April. Also I was camping in the same area on Thanksgiving and it wasn’t bad with my sleeping bag and some layers. It’s warmer in April though ...isn’t it?

I’m trying to convince my wife we should pick up an RTT for this trip. If it happens we will have a spare ground tent. I will say our ground tent is pretty awesome and cost 20$. LLOD did a review on it and he really liked it too

Rally point is up! https://www.overlandbound.com/event/flagpole-knob-mabdr-3/?

Wednesday: Midday drive up to Flagpole Knob from the lake (starting at noon), then going down Union Springs road and then to Peter's Mill Run Approximately 3 hours, of slightly more challenging driving at Flagpole Knob, about 1 hour on pavement and then about 1 hour of the PMR trail Thursday...

Sounds great, I am still planning to do 3 days in VA in April involving section 3 of MABDR and Flagpole Knob

The OVS 270, the awning I wanted Amazon knockoff, the awning I could afford lol I hope I can see your OVS awning. I’m curious of the differences

i plan to do section 3 in April. Thinking of the comment from KMDADV is there a way to find locations of dispersed campsites along the route, like marked on a map somewhere online?

It works great! Great stove, I use it.. I think everyone uses it

but what about going for drives without camping... like day trips or something? Are the portions of the route around Stokes open?

Just got over 1 foot of snow in NJ...and still going ... I was just curious how's it looks in VA.... So excited for this trip in April

Greetings from a radio guy in Fort Lee NJ! A lot of good guys have already posted in here, you’re in great hands. Feel free to PM me if you want someone to go out with or to chat.

I’m interested in joining

I think the app is called hamstudy, you can go to hamstudy.org too. I learned everything from practice lol For the test I just learned if question asks “A” the answer is “B” etc It’s amazing how much better VHF performs compared to GMRS

That’s a 5/8 wave, in the hills you might be disappointed compared to a 1/4 wave. I keep the shorter 1/4 wave on the truck because of the height but also I live in a valley and it beats out the 5/8 locally. From mountain top to mountain top that midland should be really impressive on 462...

Getting the technician license was easy. There is an app that gives you the answers, you just memorize it. What’s your GMRS callsign? I’m interested in getting a GMRS specific antenna. I currently use a 1/4 wave and a 5/8 wave firestiks for VHF but that isn’t ideal for GMRS. What antenna is that...

@Hafaday you are awesome! Thank you! Do you have any personal experience using a radio in the area or hitting a repeater over there?

Someone on the internet said the eBay one fit too lol. I hope the dobinsons does actually fit though. Schrockworks skids were the first things I put on the truck
