Official Colorado HAM and cheese thread

When is Rock Therapy? Looks like June 1-5. The answer is I hadn't planned on it, but I might make that happen anyway. 17h each way isn't so bad. I'll have to see if I can get out of work or not.

 

Yes that's it! I'll be there from 28May-5June. hopefully running Lockhart with @odomandr the 2nd and 3rd.

 

I was thinking lavender or beef basin. I ran Lockhart last month

 

plenty of time to discuss, we can take it to PM's to not fill this with BS...

but that reminds me..

@mr optimist was thinking about HAM too!

 

How far is Moab from Denver? Maybe I can road trip to our Denver office, and then caravan with y'all out to Moab

 

5hrs or so... depending on traffic... says 6 hrs 6 min from my place... but I'm just south east of Denver

 

sub for ham

 

Hey @odomandr / Andy, Weren't they talking about a test/ trail run this weekend at the HAM event, something about a fire station meet-up/ test then a trail run.

Edit: Found it http://www.meetup.com/Rocky-Mountain-Overland/

 

SHIT! I'd love to go, but my GF has a stupid "color run" I have to take her to and "watch" WTF! I run a lot... but I still hate it... now I have to watch someone else run! good thing she's hot

 

Yeah, I can't make it either

Here is full detail:

Test this weekend? Time to cram!

 

Good Luck brother! I'll be study'n but probably won't be able to test until the 1st weekend in May! UGH... oh well... just need to get the license before Moab.

 

Thanks! Just registered for an exam session this weekend in Niwot and got my FRN. Hopefully the questions don't get too sideways on me.

 

Look at the app as frequently as possible. I'm sure you will be fine.

 

Sounds like @chenbro is in the lead.

 

yup! unfortunately I don't know that I'll have a free night/weekend to test until May. But hey more power to @chenbro for getting the shit done! I WILL have mine by Moab.

 

KE0FBF here. Thought I'd ask if there's a common simplex frequency/repeater that TW CO members typically use. Also, for the event on Saturday, do you think a stock RWD 1st gen could handle those trails? I don't think I can actually make it, but just in case plans change.

 

depends on the conditions... I ran metberry in 2wd (unintentionally) when my front dif was missing teeth... but I nearly got stranded when I couldn't make it back up the big rock and hill at the end. but you could do all of the rest, and park at top, OR if it's dry, someone could pull ya up. even in 2 I made it up about 3/4 of the hill...

 

Subscribed! Had my ham for a while now, don't use it too much though. Call sign is KE0EIA, gonna look into changing that though... Kind of reminds me of signing old McDonald every time I say it...

 

and an oink oink here... and an oink oink there...

LMAO it's going to be hard if I ever chat with you over ham not to say that
