Northern Virginia Roll Call

Ouch glad you're ok.

 

Yeah I'll probably end up going. Still not 100% sure though

Haha been there, done that. One time i hit one of those yellow poles at the bank drive-thru. Ripped my mirror clean off. Pretty much the EXACT situation as in your video. It was intense, just gotta trust me

 

Dang this trip looks fun af & I'm straight stocked. Will have to join in & meet some of y'all next time

 

On one hand it looks way worse than it is. Ignore all the missing stuff. Firefighters chopped all that off to make it easier to get to him.


On the other hand, no side curtain airbags and look at how far the drivers side B pillar is pushed in. Whole lot of energy that got transferred into the car and him.

He is lucky to be alive. Glad he is on the mend.

 

I have a programming cable etc that I can bring. PM me if you have something you would like had added. I use my bangbang radio for fire department stuff mostly.

PM me and we can exchange contact information for a meeting spot saturday literally right along the route.

told some firehouse jeepers one has just installed onboard air

I am game; the more the merrier.

 

@BSK okay awesome thanks! i hate programming radios. i have to sometimes at my job and it rarely goes well lol.

 

Not a pro but I use a mechanical keyboard.. does that count? =)

 

Wondering what's the point of programming it other than having local repeaters, emergency, weather, etc. stations readily available? Or is that it? Couldn't I enter the frequency and be good to go? I definitely understand though if you're gonna be using it often

 

thats a lot better than the crap we have to use. underfunded since 1790!

 

Yeah exactly. It’s good for having a bunch of presets but I’ve never needed it for what we do. I can get you set up on frequency mode in about 30 seconds.

 

pretty much just to have preloaded channels you can turn a knob or whatever to what you need.

 

Gotcha. Yea thats what I figured. When I got my license, the president of that radio club (which is less than 2 miles from my house) said to bring my radio in to him and he would program it for me. I might take him up on that just cuz

 

Thanks! With everyone texting and driving, if anyone rear ends me then they were really not paying attention. Especially at night! Those suckers are bright.

 

Can’t make it and wife wasn’t amused on camping for moms day lol!

 

Holy shit Bill glad he is ok and keeping you in our prayers man!

 

Holy fk man. Glad he's getting better. INOVA has a great ICU & trauma team, so you guys are in good hands

 

Holyshit!

Bill I am glad he is okay and recovering.... Prayers coming your families way!
