    Organized Event: 2011-03-19: OAUSA Ham Test Session and Meet & Greet

    The next OAUSA ham radio test session and meet and greet is scheduled for March 19th at the Bass Pro Shop in Rancho Cucamonga. Please come join us for a great time talking about our favorite hobbies in the great outdoors. While you are at it, you can take the opportunity to test for your amateur radio license or try for that upgrade you've been wanting to get. For those that haven't been to the Bass Pro Shop it is also your opportunity to check it out. It is an amazing place to see. You might want to leave your wallets at home though. :lol: We will have a display of various outdoor adventure vehicles/equipment and amateur radio gear. Bring your families too. This is a great venue for us to meet the family members we never get to see on the trail. Post any questions you may have here or send a PM to BorregoWrangler or myself. I can also be emailed at k6jyb@oausa.net. We look forward to seeing you there.

        I wish this didn't conflict with the Roundup but it was one of the only weekend that all our VE's could commit to before field day in June.

        I know the pictures reflect a couple of FJ's but we're a wheel what you bring group. I'm rounding up some jeeps with military trailers, we're trying to get a few Mogs to display, etc. We're trying to get an assortment of setups to put in the main display. Anybody can sho off their set ups but we like to feature some variations in set ups.

        Let me know if you want to feature your rig and we will see what ee can do. Everyone's rig is unique and that's the cool thing about our hobby.

          If you want a ugly jeep section I would be happy to bring my Cherokee out to park.

            Looks prety bad ass to me. Maybe put some spinners on it and you can qualify for the Ugly Jeep secion.

              Thanks for putting on the HAM radio m'n'g and test! Anyone even remotely interested in HAM radio should check this out - and see how fun it is! I know there are a bunch of MJR's that need to get their licenses (Chris & Tam!)

                FYI. It is not that hard to get a handheld ham radio for less than what you would spend on a low end CB radio. And ham will reach hundreds of times further than your CB and damn near cell phone quality sound. The test is about as easy as the DMV driver’s license test.

                  We would love to have your Cherokee out there. We'll find a place for it if you're serious.

                    Sounds very interesting. Count me as a maybe! WD4DDY (and wife KJ6FYZ).

                        Sure it's really not a big deal I live about two miles from Bass Pro Shops.

                            This isn't the MJR event but we want any all groups out there. We're about outdoor adventure by any method. I'll even have my backpacks on display. We focus on amateur radio because of the advantages it offers when all other comms fail.

                            It would be great to have you join our test session.

                              That would be awesome. Thank you.
