CB or FRS

[robertf]

CB.

FRS piss me off, CB has been around for how many decades? I don't see the need for a different wavelength. They are nice when pulling conduit through attics, but don't show up to an event with an FRS and expect anyone else to have one, or HAM for that matter. You should be able to show up with a CB and that assumption.

I have both HAM and CB, but my roof rack looks like ecto-1 and I think I've encountered 1 other HAM on the trail in the 2 decades I've been doing this.

Odd, every time I go I'm with others with ham. Usually we are the lead or tail of the group because we can talk from truck to truck through the trees and hills from more than a few hundred yards away.

I haven't gone with you and the Chicago crew in awhile. While I do have a cheap cb already, getting a ham and the required licences wouldn't be out of the question if you so choose to require it. And by chance I get invited to another event.

WOW 3 pages of dick waving

I bring matches and make smoke signals

 

[JAKD-UP]

Hahaha....I thought you just went way ahead off the group and left piss marks on rocks

I thought you only brought hollers and rebel yells like a buncha howler monkeys in the rainforest?

That will be the next stage in smart-phone evolution.

First, we rediscovered the telegraph, and attached it to a telephone. This was clearly a superior device, as nobody in their right mind would actually want to speak with anyone.

That was a problem, though, because it was difficult to operate. The telephones were not large enough.

So, we developed the smart-phone. This is a better idea, as it was a telegraph with a telephone attached; the opposite, with focus placed on the superior device.

Still, it was not ideal. One day, however, while researching ancient alien technology, somebody stumbled across the solution...

Our ancestors did not operate telegraphs. Our ancestors ordered someone to operate a telegraph!

With that, a revolution had begun. After thorough research we were able to piece together the lost art of horrible speech-to-text technology (originally designed for comic relief, torture, and the ending of careers when combined with predictive text).

Now, we could use the system properly. We simply have to speak into the telephone, and the telephone tells the telegraph what to type!

Genius!

We still haven't explored the earliest examples of telegraph technology, however. Right now, we are limited by using all that horrid electricity.

Smoke signals are on the horizon. (Pun intended)

Cheers,

that's me telling you buggers to hurry up

Seems legit

I take the VHF radio from my boat, in case I need to talk to the Coast Guard.
And a satellite radio, in case I need to talk to the Space Station.
And a CB, in case I need to get a 10-20 on the Smokies.
And a cell phone, in case I want to be annoyed at the utter non-coverage provided by AT&T.
And a super-secret radio I got from Steve Young, in case I need to call in the Rangers or SEALs.

But I couldn't talk to anyone on the trail.
So instead, I put an FM transmitter in my truck, and now I just broadcast to everyone's FM radio.
They can't talk back, but I'M IN CHARGE, so fuck them.

Jim,

If I were you, I'd enhance my radio dominance with the fat one in the front of this:

And the fat tube (tan) antenna is used for freq. jamming..
