PNW 2020 Summer BDR Run - WA

For those using FRS/GMRS have we decided on a channel? I think I saw mention of Channel 11 (467.6375).

 

I just picked up a cheap set of HTs for the FRS/GMRS portion of the trip. Channel 11 works for me.

Also, there is a decent chance my plans change and I end up meeting y'all in Cashmere for Section 3 to Ellensburg only. Should know more tomorrow.

If so, @WrecklessAbandon - totally open to convoying out from Sultan area if you want.

 

Si. Chnl 11.

 

Mmmhmm. Bringing out some suppressed action.

 

Clean and prepped.

 

Dang, confirmed - leaving Sunday AM now, will intercept y'all in Cashmere.

 

I'm probably just going to meet you in cashmere and save myself the extra hour of driving/back tracking

 

@Shadowhunter

Heading out.

 

If any ham operators I’m on 446.500

 

I put all my radios on Ch11 I’ll put one on 446.5 in a sec

 

I’m at the Grandy Creek grocery

 

Twisp to Cooper Mt. ~63 mi. 3hr20:

The ‘Ol Dusty Trail’ is an understatement. Lose the road dusty. Still, fun ride. Came across a small cow traffic jam on the trail.

 

Can't wait to join up with you guys

 

That looks spectacular! Finishing final preparations today, look forward to seeing everyone in Cashmere tomorrow!

Also, thanks for calling the ball on using 446.5 - I'll start TX'ing once I get over Steven's Pass.

 

How much trouble can I get in using that channel without a license? Asking for a friend of course.

 

If caught a nice fine from the FCC but the chances of being caught slim to none unless someone turns you into the FCC

 

Thanks! I'll let my friend know.

 

All packed up, just have to throw my clothes & fishing gear in the cab tomorrow and I’ll be on the road.

See y’all soon!

 

Are propane fire pits out? Because of burn ban.

 

No. Those are fine.
