The dates for 2020 along with a URL for a secret website which will allow you to register now are printed on the tag of the insiders T-shirt. Guess you should’ve bought one!

who do you think posted the pic on the back of the shirt?

Here’s my official pitch for making GMRS as the official communication means going forward. There plenty of east to use and inexpensive radios available now. Even handheld units perform better than a lot of CBs. No tuning of antennas either!!!

I don’t know, but I hope it ends on Sunday agiain. That that worked out really well for us coming all the way from Ga.

This x10. I hate the CBs. If people can afford to register and make the trip I think they can afford better radios.

Ok then everyone get your amateur radio license

I know I know, but it’s only $70. Start saving today and it’s only $6 a month before HIHX.

Also worth noting that GMRS doesn’t require a test. Just buy the license. It’s so much better than CB....

For real. I bet if the $70 was added to registration fees it might actually increase the time registration took to fill up. Maybe even up to 4 minutes

Yes! We took our time and broke camp stress free Monday morning. Being able to have a full day on the trail Sunday and not rush packing after was awesome. Especially when 2 of us are balancing fans!

There were only a few folks left hanging around, but what a difference! All the help made a huge difference in my planning my next move. Thank you guys, I appreciate it and I know @aaronrules does too.

I have a free tent and a $60 sleeping bag. I better save up for a new radio so I can attend.

- I borrowed a handheld HAM from @Bloomer to "monitor" trail announcements. That thing worked great- crystal clear.

DITTO that CB's S U C K. $35 for a handheld TRI band HAM is cheaper than a case of craft beer- or admittance to the Soaking Pools .

I wonder if there is a way that the license for GMRS can be included in the registration and all attendees get a license? I’m still on the road...so I’m thinking out loud more than anything. I’ll have time to research after today.

You have to go through the FCC website to get a GMRS license. I have one, but they are not needed for the lower powered frequencies operating on FRS.

The FCC requires a GMRS license as a way to regulate frequencies that are used by two-way radio devices.

Glad you made it home, Enrique. You somehow beat @aaronrules home despite having 3x as far to go.

Those GMRS radios look sweet! Man I wish we could make the move to that!

It was nice to meet you- glad you made it back safe. I think you get the long distance award.
