    I had a good time. It was good meeting you and thanks for the beer an pizza!

    I feel like it went really smoothly other than the ball joints and one broken nut...but that's to be expected.

    We'll have to hit up some trails with your new supsension, wheels and tires.

    yeah, I had a blast I love running in to problems and figuring out a solution. Had to get a little creative with those ball joints.

    I'm down for some trails! Just need to pic I up a cb.

    from the research I've done so far Ham>cb, but ham cannot communicate with cb, so it kinda depends on what everyone is running correct?

    I've already looked into licencing and test locations and it just comes down to execution

    I think most people are running ham.

    The license is super easy if you do one of the ham cram sessions too.

    These work much better with an external antenna.

    That's the best combo right there.

    I started the wiring for this guy tonight-
    BTECH MOBILE UV-50X2 50 Watt Dual Band Base, Mobile Radio: 136-174mhz (VHF) 400-520mhz (UHF) Amateur (Ham)
    $220 BTECH UV-50X2 (Second Gen.) Mobile 50 Watt Dual Band Base, Mobile Radio: VHF, UHF Amateur (Ham)
    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XK83VRV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_ZuiWzbV7NN6V8

    You probably don't need 50 watts. Allegedly you can communitcate with the INternational Space Station with 5 watts if it's directly over head. You have a much better chance with 25 or 50 watts
