Hi, Just a thought about your backpack. Once you get it all packed, take it for a couple of miles through the woods. You might need to rethink your equipment list. I was surprised when I did that and had to adjust my weight limit some. You never know when you might have to leave your vehicle and hoof it. Just a thought.
Hi, Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm a new Ham operator (KN4VIR), and I've had my GMRS license about 6 mos. I originally got the license for when we go rockhunting. I'm able to spread out a little without having to shout to the grandkids. No one seemed interested in becoming a ham so I figured this would do. Seems to work ok. Not a lot of traffic around here, but VHF frequencies are quiet here to. Well just wanted to give everyone a shout out.
