And you are fully legal to use HAM in an emergency situation. If you don't have your HAM license just use the GMRS/FRS frequencies on these radios but have a few of the local HAM repeaters included for emergency communication. I think Jamie has his laptop and can program the radios with the relevant frequencies.

I'm not sure many of us know how to use these radios to access HAM repeaters in an emergency. This might be something worth doing a training on.

I agree with Jeff on emergency access. I have 2 - avofeng(?) radios, which I have been using on various runs. If I use the club's 151.760 frequency, is it legal to use? if not, what does it take to become a legal user? This will simplify my misunderstanding of what should be a straightforward subject.

Stacey and I will be there! Hopefully we have lots of snow……….and cookies !

I plan on making this run....looking forward to some snow...

Will be there also. Snow appears to be in the forecast for now.  Hopefully it does!

Unfortunately, won't make this run. I am hoping to be installing my 2inch EMU 4dr springs and Rancho shocks. To be determined if I need new panhard rods.

We will update later but appear to be out for this run.  If we can make it I will repost here.

I won’t be able to make this run. It is my granddaughter‘s birthday.

Dale Clement said I won’t be able to make this run. It is my granddaughter‘s birthday.

Correction, I will be there but I will have to leave early to go to my granddaughters birthday party.

I may have to bow out of this run I'm in the middle of repairs on my crawler but I'll know more by the end of the week and post up a definite yes or no...

I’ll be there.  Looking forward to it!

Hi, this is Tim. I’m new and will be joining, bringing my grandson and a friend with his Jeep. I have a portable ham radio, but it hasn’t been programmed with the channels yet. Here’s my cell: 916-212-9006. See you in the morning!

Jerry here (Blue FJ Cruiser)... see y'all tomorrow. Don't forget to spring forward tonight! My mobile is 916.847.1888

Got home around 6pm.  Great fun hanging with everyone and the little side adventure with Kris in the afternoon. See you at the meeting on Thursday.

Hello Club,

We had another great snow patrol day this last weekend. We had great weather had to go a little farther up to get to the snow but we found it and it was great. It was a great day with friends and got to pull someone out of the snow that was there from Saturday till Sunday when we showed up to help him out.

Please share any of your pictures that you took.

Thanks Ramika!

Jamie, is it possible to combine this thread with the MET #2 one?
