There are three things we do at Land Ops;
1.) Offroad driving & vehicle recovery
2.) Navigation & orienteering
3.) Radio & signal communications

This recon involved a remote radio call for help. The Land Rover experienced a catastrophic suspension failure due to damaged lift sensors.
It had to be trucked out on a flat bed. The Bird Spring repeater did the job and thanks to W6TOD who forwarded the call to the proper services.

Do you need a HAM license to attend this?


Mike

i was just there 2 weeks ago!!!

Mike, Ham license is NOT required, but bring an FRS so you can intercomm with other vehicles. We break up into four teams usually with 4-8 vehicles per team.
Communication within your team is very beneficial. Plenty of hams for longer distance comms. Join us

I guess we just missed you

So if any one is interested in this run I'll be going with LandOps and we'll be doing Sherman Pass Trail on Sunday.

So , I'm curious. Which Hummer are you going to bring? This one or the H3??
