    US West Ham Radio Weekly NET

    Regarding the conversation about the Wilderness Protocol, I searched the ARRL web site and found that it is mentioned in the ARES Field Resources Manual. Basically it is a recommendation that licensed Hams in a wilderness setting should announce their presence and monitor the National Calling...

Have been on several FS trails in the Ozark NF without any problems but know a taller...

    Something you don't see everyday

    Those have always looked fun. At the time they were on they market they were unique from other offroad vehicles and built to run a little faster as I recall. Good luck. Can't wait to see where you take it.
