Dude, I gave you a sweet CB antenna at HIH9 and now I'm a HAM nerd?! Sheesh... coolest guy we knew!No excuse for this to be the way forward from now on for HIH’s. GMRS is way to simple and the fact that the cheap handhelds work means there will be plenty to loan out to all the HAM nerds and people who refuse to let CB go.
Sign me up!Thanks Lee. That means a lot. Chris and I are super proud of what HIH has become and there are a ton of people (you included) that help make that happen.
Silverton will always be our home but the trails are getting so busy. Remember when Super Secret was actually a secret? Anyone seen the new Honda commercial? It's Super Secret, South Mineral, Ophir and the river trail.
I've been working on a HIH Montana for a few years. Chris @bluecruiser and Andy @AimCOtaco and Makee @smakee and Alex @dubitup are finally coming around. Tiny town (way smaller than Silverton), incredible scenery, beautiful trails, wolves, grizzly bears, moose, elk, deer, close to Yellowstone, great fly fishing..... but it'll be like starting over in Ironton. No cell service, very limited accommodations, very limited services of any kind. We've been traveling and staying there for years as a family and we know most of the full-time residents now. I've been working with the small Chamber of Commerce on ideas of how to accommodate 50 trucks and 100+ people. Checking out a potential lodge in May.
But first..... HIHX.
Good idea!I'm still hoping for HIH East of the Mississippi. A 26 hour drive (realistically 30+ with the 10+ fuel stops) from SC really kills if for me, even though I'd absolutely love to go.

HIH-MT would be awesome!Thanks Lee. That means a lot. Chris and I are super proud of what HIH has become and there are a ton of people (you included) that help make that happen.

Do you run mobile HF?For the group aspect, I get it, but for everything else... there is SO much you can do with HAM. Send texts to a cell phone (without cell service), send location beacons, call for help (the repeater network is incredible). FRS is power limited. GMRS still requires a license (albeit, no one seems to care) and the repeaters are few and far between and hardly in use.
And yeah... I will use any excuse to talk about HAM radio
Kind of like the burning man regional events but you know hopefully...less nudity

Joey....C’mon manIs there the terrain for it?
Man all I know how to do is push a button and talk, and I do that with my fingers crossednope, but i'd really like to build a portable HF station to play with. I don't have enough ham friends to justify a mobile HF setup *cough @geanes @CruiseLanderAZ @ga12r1 cough* . Just VHF/UHF for now.
