No legal method for open fires. The only thing you can use are campstoves and lanterns, even for that you need your CA fire permit.

What's the meeting ID?

Hmmm What's the password for the Zoom call?

Thanks for the bulkhead connector link I will look into that. Where would I run the bulkhead of wires .. would I still run them down the windshield? Or is a hole still required on the roof for the bulkhead connector?

@Granite Ridge Overland I've seen some installs with the solar glands and they look messy with the sealant applied around it. I have several lights on my Tacoma roof rack and currently have the wires tucked in along both side of the windshield; I don't like it since one sometime the wires pop...

yup that's what I did. So far so good, but I didn't like how it still swiveled slightly.

https://www.rammount.com/part/RAM-2462U I don't know for sure yet if this dimension will work or if I will still need an adapter plate to go to the Kenwood

Option1: I like the printed ball adaptor which utilizes the quick release. Option2: I found that RAM Mounts base attachment with ball ... that MIGHT work. Need to check the Kenwood backing mounting holes. For now I used my RAM Mounts phone holder ... fits quite well. This will do for now and...

Is there a similar RAM ball mount for the KENWOOD 710?

The discussion was to back track to 101 like you mentioned.

Great I was able to get a new Campfire Permit. The permits expire on Dec31 of that calendar year. Like @PapaDave mentioned, I also keep a digital copy on my iPad and a hardcopy in my glove compartment.

I DLd the iPhone Echolink app, did the verification process and was able to save *USA-GNG* to my favorites list; did a quick PTT trial. Seems like you have to tap to 'Transmit' then tap again to 'End Transmit'. Will try to get on the Friday OB HAM Radio weekly net. Will be reading up more on...

I do see WFA provided by REI near me. SportsBasement also offers it, but it's all the way in Presidio.

I want to take a WFA training as well. Where did you take yours? Good reminder on the CA Campfire permit. I got one last year not sure if it’s annual or if I need to reissue another one for 2020.

@Kent R I just got my HAM Technician last month. I’m interested in the online course. Can you send me in that direction to find it? thanks, Chris KN6GLP

Passed my HAM technician on 12/10. Currently using HT Baofeng UV-5R. Researching Yaesu/Kenwood/ICOM mobiles with dual band, APRS, and remote head unit features. Need to read up more on HAM repeaters in my area as well as getting on echolink. KN6GLP

The Los Burros Rd then heading north to Prewitt Ridge is a nice route. Los Burros is a nice steep climb. Looking forward to this trip.

Hehe it was a perfect smiley [emoji38] group picture. CowPatty was closed but we took pictures outside. The Cañon de Guadalupe hot springs was an awesome way to end the trip. 2wd is ok but high clearance definitely required. A Camry and a minivan had to park almost a mile away. It’s smooth...
