I have my Technician license - I'm not really knowledgeable about it though, hardly even get on the air. I got certified last August. There was a guy there last year (or maybe the year before) that had a bunch of military radio equipment displayed. I talked to him for a little while - he was very a knowledgeable ham. Maybe he will be there this year. I also have a couple of GMRS frequencies programmed in my HTs - although it is not legal to use Ham radios for GMRS commo because of the power limitations.

LOL - yeah, I did too last year! I don't know who was behind me, but I don't think they were too close.

I hope you'll go for it.
What have you got to lose (especially when you're so close)?

I think you can use it on GMRS, up to 5 watts. FRS is restricted to 1/2 watt technically.

You're right - I was thinking that GMRS was limited to 1w, but it IS 5w. The only thing is that you have to possess a GMRS license to use those frequencies with a GMRS radio - legally). https://www.fcc.gov/general/general-mobile-radio-service-gmrs.
Here's a thread about the very subject we are talking about: http://www.rvnetwork.com/index.php?showtopic=111143 . Someone says that if you get caught using GMRS frequencies on a ham radio you are in danger of losing your ham license (I'm not saying that's correct or not - I don't know). I guess that's good to have the frequencies programmed and only use them in case of an emergency - not worth losing my license over though.

Blast from the past:
As I was getting dressed for work this morning, I noticed my shirt from the last year that the event was held at the Bladen Lake Group Camp...and thought that you all might enjoy seeing what Neil had for us... (Front and Back, the shirt is actually black...)

Ya'll know this flyer is posted on Facebook? My wife found it on the SS facebook page and wasn't a member. I thought it was a SS only flyer?

Trail ride is something new, I don't know anything more about it than what was posted here. The BBQ convoy was to wheelspinner ' s house. Speeds was kept down to 45mph so everyone stayed together. We even had a police escort thru Denton. Blake makes the BBQ and it's awesome. Alot of us went out to eat too a diner one night.

The place is wooded, so it's fairly cool if it's nice and sunny. We had a fire one night. Great time hanging out with everyone. I can't remember if there was a charge to get in, or how much it was to camp.
