Hey, loved the banner some MO guys did with putting it over that big billboard. If it isn't too much of a problem do you think you might know or be able to ask some of the other guys what the proportion of the fabric used was and such? I think there might be some more billboards off to the side of the road that look like they could use the same type of fun. Everyone can make a banner, but that's clearly not your average sized banner with average sized stencils I think

Original question about radios is not as important anymore since we have more than enough for the December event, but if you become able to take a count of them (that people would be willing to use for PF activities and national events) that would be fantastic as well.

Thanks @Adam NC excuse me for not responding to your original message. Every billboard size can be found online from the website where you can rent them. Have anyone interested in dropping a banner please contact me directly for we will speak on Mumble over everything. The plan is to build my own guide for all future attempts as many want to know the details. Simply it took us almost two months to accomplish since we had to figure many things out the hard way. I

We are in need of radios for our network as we're using simple walkie talkies. The long term plan is for us to obtain Ham radios. Could you like me a good place to purchase them for a reasonable price?

No worries! Shit happens and mumble is really easy to let loose haha. I'll have to look into that website. I'll make sure to get something set up with myself, @Marcus NC , and take a quick rollcall for who should be on such an interesting banner drop and let you know! Making a guide for that would be an outstanding idea because that is close to uncharted territory

Ham radios are a little more difficult simply because my specialty is handheld comms. I might have an idea, let me get back to you soon with something but realistically it's all public info so it is as simple as "Best budget ham radios" and that should actually give you a pretty good idea for what you can expect. When usually works for mumble? No rush or pressure of course, just trying to get an idea of what works best for you so its not an inconvenience

I'm available almost every weeknight by 8 PM (CST) on mumble. When it comes to availability tomorrow I have the #positive-investing meeting to host. How about we have a conversation Sunday at 8:00 PM after the NW12 weekly chat. We can talk about everything then.

Sounds like a plan! Looking forward to it, honestly I think you gave me the important information already but obviously I am sure there is a lot more to learn given how new THAT type of banner drop is. Thank you

Also! I went through this article, it seems on point and isnt bullshitting around, so I would give it a look with your guys and ask yourselves which is best for what objectives you want to accomplish

Thanks Adam.

We're in meeting room three, no rush of course! I know you have some other stuff to finish up first

Just double checking, are you still good?

Ah sorry.

I'm available.

Had to deal with some of the travel plans.

I'll be available tonight till 12 PM.

No worries! It happens, we'll figure something out later

Yes, excuse me for not seeing your messages. I can be available by 7:00 CST Wednesday and Thursday

Actually, I think after we've done some brainstorming and scouting, the biggest question is how did you do the stencils? The letters look bigger than most banners for obvious reasons, but maybe that's just eyes playing tricks. If you'd prefer to go over that in a call that's also completely good but I think that's really the last MAIN puzzle piece missing

I suggest getting a full breakdown from me when (and I'll actually show up on time) since there are things you're going to HAVE to let me tell you or else this will be very hard. Things you will not understand until your at the top of the billboard.

We spent about 30 hours cutting 32'' coroplast stencils for each letter of our saying, then an insane amount of math for spacing.

Seriously let's have a meeting.

Sounds good! I will be on mumble at 8 PM EST tomorrow (wednesday)! I appreciate all the work youre going into to help us achieve this, wouldnt be possible without your help!

Just tracking, still good for 8 PM EST?

Yes

Lat 35°36'0.33" N
Lon 82°22'1.84" W

Which one of these two ?

Its located on the property of Appalachian Tool & Machine Inc

Perfect

Thank you for the help so far! Looking forward to hopefully being able to hop on call for Friday and also looking forward to the other things we talked about at the beginning of the call!

Outstanding! Thanks man!

Here's what the banner looked like before spraying.

Lot of work and effort went into that banner, but man was it worth it. You guys did a phenomenal job, got an important message out that couldnt be ignored, AND got PF some more recruits. That's something alright
