Desertcrawler Posted March 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Should we agree on an alternate frequency to 146.460 just in case we hit cross traffic or need a separate channel for emergency traffic during the trip? I added one to the PDF file, but doubt we will need it. 146.640 for Ham and channel 17 for CB. We are getting worse than those Expedition Portal guys when it comes to planning! Or maybe they can take lessons from us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerDan Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Things aren't looking too good for me to attend at this point. I still can't work underneath a vehicle so I haven't been able to replace my transmission. Even if I could, I haven't been able to do much paid work, so funds are pretty low. On top of all that, I've got some other problems here at home that will probably prevent me from going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinB Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Sorry to hear that Dan. If things work out at home and all you need is a ride for DV. I have got you covered. I got seats in the disco and the classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Solis Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Hola everyone...just something to think about. If you have an iPhone or ipad (might be avail on other platforms not sure) you should get star walk. Free app and totally awesome for looking at the night sky and seeing and learning about the constellations. Continue on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelBeaver Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Uh oh. Don't think this is going to work. Those frequencies are not available (or legal) for HAM's to use. We are restricted to 144 - 148 MHZ in the 2 Meter Band. So we will need to come up with another plan for you to stay in touch with us. Either a handheld -- or we need to mess with Beavers repeater idea -- but I think you might be talking on illegal frequencies. Repeater function wont work with this range either. I think we will need to get him a handheld.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Solis Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 I have a scanner that is handheld and will pick up our HAM freq's. used it before I got my ticket to the dance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desertcrawler Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 I'm still planning on leaving on Thursday - trying to make it to Gold Point (or at least as far as Tonopah) that evening. I did speak to the Sheriff - he tells me that he will have rooms made up and ready (if needed) for anyone who wants one instead of a tent when they get to town..

KSuttle Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Currently our plan is to meet Enrique in Tracy around 9am Friday, drop our dog off at a kennel in Lathrop and then meet Beaver, Rob, Ted, and maybe Randy somewhere around Sacramento around 12-12:30ish. From there we will head towards Gold Point via Reno or 88. Enrique, the Suttle Shuttle, and Ted are going to try to make Gold Point. Beaver, Rob, and Randy may only go as far as Tonopah.

El Solis Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 So knowing we could set a little bit of Camel Trophy USA history and have 4 CT110's in DV you are still bringing the Disco huh? Just kidding of course 😎👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teds Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Weather report for Gold Point shows low 30's at night. Brrrrrrr..... Yikes! Well last year it did snow on us and I was very thankful to have a cabin to sleep in. If it is that cold again, we may stop for Friday night in Tonopah. It is 57 miles from Tonopah to GP. How much are the cabins at Gold Point? Will there be any available on Friday night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desertcrawler Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 The cabins are something like $90 or so -- check my earlier post. So far, no one has called to reserve any -- it's first come first serve -- unless you call gold point and make a reservation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desertcrawler Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 So who is in for Friday night dinner and/or Saturday Breakfast? I thought Enriique is coming on Saturday.....? Totally confused. Currently our plan is to meet Enrique in Tracy around 9am Friday, drop our dog off at a kennel in Lathrop and then meet Beaver, Rob, Ted, and maybe Randy somewhere around Sacramento around 12-12:30ish.
