Guest, UPDATE We went through the site migration runbook and completed all steps. We will need to complete the migration next week, but will leave the forums up for the weekend. A few days after maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.
I'm gonna be there since i'm going to be missing next month's meet-up.
Do we need to look at doing this on a different day? I know folks do a lot of travel this time of year but it seems like attendance is dropping off.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
Here's a good comparison of the different HT radios out there with comparable results for those folks looking for a good radio.

I run a 18" long Tram NMO antenna I got from Amazon for $12 and its been a trooper. It's been bent, mangled into the roof of the Nissan garage on a lift and just generally abused. I was running a longer antenna occasionally with some gain (and 6m in it) but I honestly never noticed enough...
I've clipped it once on a "hard line" on a mild trail. I could have taken a slightly different line and been ok though. No damage, just heard it rattle a little. If I get worried, I'll have the wife get out at spot for me.
The whole family usually isn't with me on the really challenging rides...
We camp with 5. 3 daughters, my wife and myself in a Xterra.
10 man Coleman Instant Cabin tent
1 Queen air mattress for the wife and myself
2 Twin mattresses, eldest minion (12) on one and little two (7 and 9) on the otther. Will add 3rd when needed
12V powered air pump for them
Summer time...
Luis, Esteban, and Steve showed up! We ate then went and kicked tires a bit. I had an interesting night so I had to leave about 4:30 to get home and get some rest for tomorrow.
