Event by Marc Spaziano and NOVA GMRS

Reddish Knob, Saturday, March 29, starting at 10 AM.

Public  · Anyone 

 

Come join NOVA GMRS for a Radio Expedition up to Reddish Knob and play Radio for the afternoon!

 

Everyone is welcome to bring their handheld radios, mobile radios, or "portable" setups and discover the amazing range of your gear that is associated with high elevation of the mountain top. Lets find out how far Your radio can reach!

 

Reddish Knob is located in the George Washington National Forest, outside of Dayton / Harrisonburg, Virginia. While this is a knob on the ridge-line in the forest, it is paved all the way to the top. Any vehicle can comfortably make it all the way to the top without an issue.

 

Along with your radios, bring a camera, warm clothes, and something to snack on for lunch. There is nothing nearby... so bring everything you need to be comfortable for a few hours.

 

For those not familiar with the area, we can find a meet-up spot if you would like to follow me from town, up to the main lot.

Hey folks, just some quick planning for Saturday... for those of you who are not familiar with the area or would like to caravan up to the top of the knob together, I will be at a Shell gas station at 3275 S Main St, Harrisonburg, VA 22801 at 8:45 AM and leaving there at 9:00 AM. It's about a 50 minute drive to the top of the knob.

 

The Shell station is literally right off the highway off-ramp. On i81, take exit 243 and the Shell station is across the street from the bottom of the ramp.

 

For those heading straight to the meeting location, I'll see you at the top of Reddish Knob at 10:00 AM.
