We will figure it out, even if we don't do a ton of testing and all we do is hang out, I am still all for that. The weather looks good and I plan on bringing my portable grill and a cooler with ice. Let me know if you guys want to grill or go eat at a restaurant. Yeah bring the dog, I miss my dog that we had to put to sleep and I love paying with them.

Put me down for soda (I have like 36 cans of Pepsi and 24 cans of MD that I'll bring if anyone wants them).

I'll bring my table in case we need some horizontal surface to put something on, besides the ground. I can grab some paper plates and plastic utentsils. (We're looking at how many people, like 6, or something?)

Just put my pooch down on Saturday, so I'd like to see some dogs if possible.

(I'm also going to see if I can steal some time for CB tuning as well. I'd like to see what it sounds like on another CB. Try and get my SWR's down.)

I am 100% there for the Laser on Sunday, and about 80% sure I'll be there for Saturday as well. Not quite sure what I can bring food wise, I don't have a big cooler or anything so I may just stop by a local grocery store.

I'd also like CB tuning, I've been bad and never SWR tuned mine.

I'm really tempted to go Sunday now... hmmmm

I can finally see if my other CB is really transmitting off frequency like I think it is, so CB time will be good. It should be good fun and give us some time to relax, if anyone likes to fish the park is right by a river so bring your poles.

EDIT: I guess NMA made the official announcement for me so there you go.

Holy crap! I didn't realize how close that was nor easy to get to! I'm gonna take Corruna Road to the middle of nowhere and make a right!

Why are the symptoms of transmitting off frequency?

While driving through the country I somehow landed on 95.7 on the stereo, and when I talked on my CB it came through my car speakers, I'm not sure what to make of it.

usually it is other people telly you that you sound bad or they can't understand you. Seeing as NMA will have his scanners there we can easily verify what frequency you are transmitting on and see if it needs to be sent in for a tune.

your symptoms actually sound like the CB overpowered the normal frequency and made it though to the radio. It tends to happen.

I'll be coming on the laser day to test my setup. If there is any way we can do laser on Saturday that would be great, if not I'll have to switch some stuff around but w/e.

I got an explorer with LI Quad and V1.
