I suggested CBs for the Sewell trip since we always use those same two-way radios that unless you're 100 feet or closer, are relatively worthless. Let me know if you get that one -- I'm interested to find out how well it works. For this event we'll have 3 groups out at one time and spread over a couple thousand acres -- and you'll be able to listen to Rikki yell at us when we're out on the trails. I had a CB and a big whip antenna in Indiana, but it didn't make the trip down and I'm looking for something that can go from truck to truck...

Well, I went ahead and got that Cobra portable.....We'll see how it does......
Sounds like everyone else is using those GMRS hand talkies.......
Since I have some Best Buy awards certs burning a hole in my "griefcase", I might pick up a couple of those as well. WTH.
HD, are you cool with the rendezvous point and time?
Steve, where do you want to meet us at?
How did you come out with Rikki?
Brian, you know you and any of your guys are welcome to come as well....Just a bunch of FNG's on the bunny trails...but we'll have fun....

Hope that aux. antenna works out -- I went and bought four of those Midland units you were talking about. Jay and I tried them out on the drive, and the small antenna that came with it was useless -- we couldn't talk across the drive! I think we're going to go w/ a less cool unit, and a larger magnetic whip antenna.
Thanks for the offer - but the last Saturday of the month? You gotta be crazy.

I'd skip the hand held CB. They are useless inside a vehicle and not much better even with the remote antenna. I have an old 20 ch cobra that has been tweaked and has a cig lighter plug and a magnetic antenna. It's to big to install, but if someone needs it, I can bring it.
I have a smaller 40 Ch Cobra that I'm going to find a place to install in the H3 this week and think I will mount my 4' firestick to the rear bumper. If I have time I'll take the CB to the CB shop in McKinney and have it tweaked and tuned (I haven’t seen my SWR meter in a few years).
I also have a GMRS that I normally leave in the glove box.
I’m fine with whatever for the Gilmer trip.

I would if I could Steve -- but NO ONE has pull over the mighty Rikki -- its her show. I did mention to her that you were a forum member that I knew of - but I'm not sure if being associated with me is good or bad! Actually, we normally have a few cancel at the last minute, so its not too crazy to be on the waiting list and go. I hope you get a slot!

anyways, i hope everyone in the area can make it. it's going to be a blast!

I'm good with the meet time, no problemo.
I don't have a CB... but I have handheld cell phone plus the onstar phone. Do we really need it, I've never been on a group hunt.. If someone has a spare that I cound use for the day that'd be great, worth a cold one for sure!
I hope to have some new tires by then, not sure, it's coming up quick.
