Just a last checkup, I dont anticipate any surprised but you understand why I wanna double check

What's your assessment of our readiness for the December event? We have the laptop prepped for getting the radios ready. We're making sure every network actually brings all their radio equipment. You're a smart guy and have CTCSS covered.

Am I missing anything? We should be completely good to go as far as things go and those few reminders. You're the guy to talk to here and so I wanted to get your temperature reading. Wanted to ask now so we have time to scramble a few things real quick with the time we have left in case I'm completely dropping the ball on something here

I'm really not worried about it, I feel like we'll have what we have and we'll figure out the game plan come that weekend, we have a lot of our bases covered.... and moving forward it's mostly just operational things and gaining a little bit more knowledge to do it better next time

Sounds good, just wanted to double check for obvious reasons. Thanks bro, hope you make sure to have a fantastic thanksgiving!

@Mike ID Did Thomas ever give you a time he wants you/the comms team at the campground ahead of everyone else or still working with what we know so far?

Or, did you have any suggestions/thoughts? I don't imagine we will actually need to get there much earlier than anyone else but of course I wanted to double check if you got new info and what your thoughts were

I'm going to be there sometime Friday afternoon, I think we'll have that night and the next morning to play with radios

Makes sense, just wanted to double check in case something slipped by me or there were expectations I had overlooked

I think they just want everybody there by zero dark Friday night

Makes the most sense. Just wanted to thank you for all the help again, as always don't hesitate to reach out if there's ever anything you need or anything I can help you with (or anything I probably need to know that you aren't sure if I've been told yet). If we don't talk in the meantime, looking forward to hanging out again Friday!

Do you have a charger? Or several?

For Baofeng UV-5Rs, I have a big charger that fits 6 radios. No worries, goes without saying I'll bring it

Yeah... All of my personal radios run off the AA battery packs, but I have like four regular ones that need to go back to network one I think

Want me to try and bring some extra AA batteries or should my normal charger be sufficient?

Just the normal charger, my radios aren't going to leave my person

Sounds good :)

Thanks Mike

Honestly. I want to be better at radios and youve been a help with that

Just let me know when I can be a help or what I can do

Yeah, ill walk you through chirp and software settings and stuff onsite

Cop was at destination and turned on his lights to make us go. He didn’t pursue but just a heads up we don’t have an updated position. If you get told anything let me know and if I hear something I’ll give you the updated address. With some NC guys and the SC guy

Security checkpoint update 38.1385423, -77.7253093

Let me know when you get here, I have the radios and the radio charger
