You can meet everyone at the end of cleghorn off 138, and run pilot rock. We probably won't hit the trail until 9:30 and be done with cleghorn until 12:30-1:00. Most people will still have cell coverage on cleghorn, so you can check our status.

Current list updated: 16 saying they're coming. PMs checked as well.
I'd like to identify who will have radio coms. I will be on CB, I know [MENTION=117408]Oneluv13T4R[/MENTION] has both CB and HAM capability. I got [MENTION=102715]CrazyNorwegian[/MENTION] on HAM, I updated his freq on the first post as well.

I've got both CB and Ham, but I'm not licensed for ham yet. Can listen at least.

That frequency I listed isn't a ham frequency. It's just the frequency the 2 way radios use. List the ham frequency as just 146.460 simplex

I just noticed that my embedded Google Map of the meet up point dropped off...is it not allowed? [MENTION=25058]ChildrenOfBodom[/MENTION] ...or did I accidentally delete it?

I would guess that the embed code got lost in translation. I've had a few posts freak out and go blank, some lost only portions. I think it might have to do with certain types of code, IE copying Facebook information with hidden CSS.
We have outdated forum software and our update requests to admin most often go ignored/unreciprocated.
Have a good run, wish I could make it

Yeah I've got both and they will both be on, Ham were usually on
147.420 -147.520. [MENTION=128841]Spenny[/MENTION] he's got Ham as well a really nice set up he can reach out and around that whole area no problem.
Have no problem using [MENTION=102715]CrazyNorwegian[/MENTION] channel.
By the way if ANYBODY needs a CB Radio I have practically a brand new Cobra if someone needs to use it of course would need to get it prior to hook it up or if someone wants to buy it. Either way I don't care. It has every feature
Model 29LX CHR LE . Its a black and chrome limited edition

I don't have a cb and am not very knowledgeable in this area. Can a hand held "walkie talkie" type radio communicate with this group or is a cb mandatory for any communication? Thank you in advance

[MENTION=120124]drewskie88[/MENTION] You'll need/ want to get either a handheld CB or Ham to communicate and with everyone on the trail. Handhelds are relatively cheap and can be paired with a mag mount antenna for better range. A good starting point. I grabbed a Baofang handheld Ham off amazon for my first group run and the thing is good enough. Promptly upgraded to a different radio but didn't "have" to (small pp syndrome and the need for more power).
The debate between ham and cb will rage forever, but Ham is better in every single way - but you "need" (wink) a license to broadcast.
I'm going to get a handheld CB for this run just so I can hear the shit talk and communicate there too.

Yeah I've been happier with the HAM over the CB, it's just cleaner and has a better range. While most of us don't have licenses, we also don't blow up the channel and being out in the middle of nowhere makes it pretty unlikely that you're going to get busted using it. I am studying for my test though because I want a mobile setup eventually and learn how to use repeaters and whatnot in case of emergencies.
Can you post a link to a decent handheld radio on amazon? I have no idea what to look for but def want to order something before this trip. Thanks!!!

This is a decent one with a few good features. I have one myself.
http://www.amazon.com/Cobra-HH-38-WX-ST/dp/B00004TKVD/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1460447083&sr=8-3&keywords=handheld+cb
It takes 9 AA batteries. Get decent rechargeable batteries while you are at it.

this is the handheld that I got, there is another version that is half the price on amazon as well.

unlike the Cobra mentioned above, this ones battery is rechargeable, battery will last all day on the trail.
