Looks like the Eastern Va folks are going to be running Flagpole the same weekend we are.

We're ironing out some details with the Eastern Va crew so we're all on the same page but a RP is incomming!

And here's the rally point for the trip!

Switzer Lake / Flagpole Knob Ride

Hello fellow Overlanders... In this time of crisis, we all need to take a step back and relax a bit. That's exactly what we're doing come May 15th. Switzer Lake to E

Please respond ASAP. Post up in the thread for the RP as well with questions and concerns.

As far as comms go, what is the most common setup people around here use? I have my tech license and a mobile setup in my rig, but just curious if it would be beneficial to get a CB as well, or GMRS, or just have all of the above.

Thanks for any input!

If I can go I hope to use my newly acquired HAM license...

More of us are trending to ham but GMRS is what we normally use. The clarity of FM vs AM and the higher power GMRS offers with the license is much nicer. Plus the smaller antenna size and fact that it works with the unlicensed FRS service for folks just starting out is nice too!

If I can go I hope to use my newly acquired HAM license...

Awesome! Congrats! I'll be monitoring 146.460 for those Hams in attendance. At least for those traveling in and for inter-group coms if we wind up having enough folks that we need to split up.

Hey Terry, very interested in going to the meet up next weekend! It says May 15-17. Could you give me some more details on an itinerary? Unfortunately I have to work that Friday but would love to join you all on Saturday

Go to the rally point page linked at the top of that thread. There's a basic itinerary listed there in the description. We're going to try to be rolling by 10:30 Saturday morning, headed for Flag Pole up Switzer Lake/Dunkle Hollow Rd.

Ah, I found it. If it was a snake it woulda bit me. I'm in, see everyone there!
