I'm super excited about Saturday, I guess I choose a good time for my first outdoor excursion with such a big group.
Cant wait til saturday! but i have 2 questions
1) Where exactly are we meeting?
2) i ordered a cb but there are some shipping issues. does anyone know where I can run and grab a hand held cb? I can borrow a family radio as well, but is anyone going to be using those?

Just take the cleghorn exit off the 15. You'll be able to see where everyone is at from there. You can miss a group this big.
I think the majority of people will have 2 way radios. Either the regular ones that you can buy at best buy, or the baofeng ham radios that can be programmed for the frs frequency. So worst case I'd say just get an inexpensive frs radio from your local electronics store. Even Walmart sells them. We will use the ham frequency for communication between groups. I'm not a fan of the audio quality of cb but might be good for some side chatter. I will bring a laptop and programming cable for the baofeng radios if anyone needs help entering the frs channel into their radio.
I'm local. We can meet somewhere and roll up to cleghorn.i'll be picking up some passengers from Sd, anyone from here from sd want to meet up and drive to the meet spot?

If anyone lives in the SFV / SGV / LA area that wants to drive up together on Saturday morning, let met know.
i'm out in Oxnard... will likely head up on Saturday morning - don't feel like fighting traffic on Friday to hang out in Redlands for the night. where would you meet at and what time?
I will definitely need help programming my beofang, there's so many buttons I have no idea what they do lmao!Just take the cleghorn exit off the 15. You'll be able to see where everyone is at from there. You can miss a group this big.

It's really a cheap Chinese radio not made for ham usage, but does work for it. I will be up at the meeting location early at about 8am if anyone what's help.
