NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Interesting. Im curious how well itll work

 

I also have an antenna coming for it. Idea is to have a decent mobile in the truck and a portable when I get out. Never find out if you don't try, eh? Anyone have one of those fancy swr meters?

 

I do have a SWR meter. I know a couple other people do as well.

Ive actually wanted to try the portable ones out and see how they do. If it works well I might pick up one or two to have when "caravaning" with friends/parents

 

I have one of these tucked away but I have never been able to tune my set-up to a level where I am happy with it. I have very little experience with radio equipment though.

I've always just used radios from work, so this whole cb thing is new to me. Kinda sounds like a 5w radio is a 5w radio... The things that make a difference are antenna tuning and placement. If that's the case with this thing, then win!

 

That looks dang similar to the one i have.

 

The snow run will be Saturday since the Seahawks play Sunday, hoping they still play next week.. Sorry @twalchlii1 but ill correct it back to Sunday if a tragedy happens this weekend. @JimSnell what vehicle does your buddy have?

 

Would be the Jeep. The guy in the taco will probably ride along.

 

If nothing else it's one more winch and onboard air setup. Guaranteed the guy won't be in the way.

 

Is that thing turbo'd?

 

Oh okay yeah thats fine, just wanted to make sure it wasn't a normal SUV or something lol

 

Blown... Whatever the cool jeep blower is.

 

@northwesttaco. Hey so if needed we could potentially do a mlk run. Idk how many people have it off but the govt gave me the day! Hahhaha

 

mlk?

 

Martin Luther King

 

I have the day off too but not sure many others do.

 

Monday, or the popular street in most downtown ares?

 

Idk but any day works for me!

 

Ok for those of us who live at the event horizon, what date is that? ( paste appropriate space related emoticon here)
