WRAM - We dedicate our hearts,minds and bodies to protecting our great Republic!
July FTX will be FRI 8 July approx 1830-Sat 9 July approx 1600. This allows an overnight, but does not interfere with Church activities for those of you who are members, in addition it provides a day with family so as to keep spouses/children from feeling abandoned. Once again families are welcome but I am aware some do not want to participate at this time, hence the altered schedule. Once again Nick and I will be staying through Sun, so anybody desiring to stay and just camp and play are more than welcome.

Ammo (300 rounds +, we will qualify this weekend, as well as a night famfire)

Permalink Reply by Martin Toomey (UT Group Leader) on June 16, 2011 at 2:01pm I'm hoping they do, but I have my doubts as well. If necessary I guess we'll set up a repeater. I would rather not have you guys go out and buy expensive radios.
Permalink Reply by Martin Toomey (UT Group Leader) on June 16, 2011 at 2:31pm Do you have your license?
Yeah, I'm a tech. I keep a 5m HT on my LBE. Realistically, 5m is the way to go; but it does require another lever of commitment in terms of resources and time. The benefits are worth it though, ten times the power in HT's (.5 v 5w tx power), repeater access, plus the ability to use even higher power mobile radios).
Even if we kept the low-powered GMRS radios for inter-team comms, a dedicated radioman w/ a 2m HT, to reach a TOC/insertion vehicle, makes a lot of sense to me.
Guess now we need a radioman.

Thanks
