PRS Norcal Summer 2010 Camping trip /wheeling!

Looks like perfect weather.

 

Yeah looks like it... I will have to make sure the wife packs herself some warm stuff.

 

I can almost smell the pine trees already!

 

Yea me too. Oh wait I do, right outside my window.

 

Ya it should be great up there and decent weather for sure. Even up by the snow it should be nice. I should be up there around 11:30 Friday morning.

 

we plan to be on the road by 9... but we have a couple trailers and a motor home in our caravan.. plus a lunch stop... so should be there... like 2ish.

 

Sounds good Seth. Have a safe trip and see ya in a couple days. I have AT&T and there is no service up there for me.

 

Need to get yourself a ham license..

 

3 more days!!!!!!!!!!

 

I might have a cb by then but might not.

 

If you just get an FRS radio we will be able to communicate to those with our HAM radios.

 

I'm a noob, what is FRS?

 

Anyone else that has a cb ill be on channel 30.... Can i communicate with you ham radio guys from CB?

And im hoping Travis is still coming up with me in the morning on saturday, he said he might be racing.

 

Nope... CB is a different band. 11 meters our radios operate on 2meters and 70cm. FRS operates in the 70cm band as well just above the ham frequencies. so with our radios modified we can communicate on them. Since FRS doesnt require a license you guys can use it to. The little motorola talk about type radios are FRS.

But, You guys should still get your ham licenses.... we will have to show you the superiority over CB. With a smaller antenna we can communicate WAY further than CB and with a repeater we can talk around the world.

 

Like the Motorola Talkabout...

This sounds like the way to go Seth. I will get more info from ya when we meet up. I definatly want to go with some sort of communication for up there. Also on how to get a Ham license and what type of radio this is. Im not familiar with these.

 

I'm stoked for this camping trip since I need some major R&R. I'll have my FRS, what channel will you guys be on?

X2 on Galen's interest on the Ham license. I want to get one as well.

 

I would get a ham but all of my friends are on cb and not one has a ham radio so I don't think i would be able to convince them all to switch over.

 

Hey Alvin How ya been? Havent heard from ya in awhile. YA this trip should be a blast. 3 more days.
