Nah, just pack the usual happy good time camping / 4 wheeling stuff. We're gonna have some fun! I talked to Dewayne and Terry and told them to be looking for you when you get in. They're going to point you towards a good camping spot most likely over near the RV camping area but in the...

The glass place did not have clear glass? WTF?

http://operationeastwind.com/maps/NATO-24x36.pdf http://operationeastwind.com/maps/WARPAC-18x25.5.pdf These are the maps of D-Day that we made for Operation East Wind this last spring. Most of the roads are on the maps, just not the ones that have been added in the last 2 months. They...

Sweet, I am really curious to see how a bobbed truck manages compared to a 6x6. Seems like it ought to be a **** of a lot easier to turn with. Looks like you'll beat us there by a good bit, we'll probably be rolling in around 10-11 pm depending on if we good off and have dinner on the way...

I am quite certain there will be vendors at OFAST if nothing else. Likely that the D-Day cafe will be open too. Not too worried about it either way. The trip to town is pleasant enough and it's nice to shake the rocks out from between the duals every now and then anyhow. Bottled water...

Oh **** ya! There's lots of good places to go scope out on that bike down there.

I have made that run a time or two from KC down to DDAP in the wee hours of the morning. It's a fairly pleasant run as long as it is not 15 degrees out. Starting off on the south end of town like you are it should go well. We'll be waitin for ya man! Prep wise, Dave and I added an antenna to...

Well, we'll be heading from Kansas City and should be running in about 10 PM. You might catch up with us about the time we hit US 60 if you are heading out of OKC in the evening as well... Not much help at that point but who knows... You just need a more frantic Mil Vehicle community in OKC :)

You could easily cut over to 69 from any number of pleasant little south of KC roads. Let me know for sure if you're gonna make it Jerrod, I'll pack along an extra PRC-77 for ya so we can all make fun of Elmo going up the hills. Also, I happen to have all my deuce stencils out since I had...

Looks Like Dave, Lyle, myself and a few others are going to convoy down from the KC area on Friday evening. We're taking US 69 down so if anyone want's to jump in let us know.

I am so there! I just spent the weekend running around in my Deuce at DDAP. I cannot express enough how well suited this facility is to military vehicles. There are plenty of really good trails out there that are quite well suited to larger vehicles. Got to like that!

Well right now I am getting ready to start changing tires so I suppose it's just making me tired and sore just thinking about the task ahead. :))

I suppose it depends on what you are doing with it. my biggest issue with gens of any size is getting them small enough to handle the more moderate electrical demand I usually have for them. I generally only use mine in the field and since I am running DC lights and such even running full...

Running just delightful. I've put another 12K miles on it since then and have only had very minor troubles. By far my most reliable vehicle! It's been repainted since the pics and looks pretty sharp now. Love that thing! The Miles cases are still serving us well. We can stuff about 1...

No... for the third time in this thread... YOU GET THE LICENCE AND YOU CAN LEGALLY USE THE RADIO. SHEESH.... Do any of you guys have drivers licences or license plates on your trucks?

Yes, the military still uses radios. Lots and lots of them. You are correct, it is a lot cheaper to just get a headset just like it is a lot cheaper to just get a used 1980s Chevy S-10 pickup truck rather than an MV. Some things we do because we like them more than because they are the...

And again.... There are no fines if you just get off your dead ass and get the liscence...

Just get the license… It’s easy and then you can do it legally. Nobody to talk to on wideband FM? The ONLY people I want to talk to are on wideband FM! Why would I want to talk to other Ham operators? I want to talk to the other MV guys I am running around with not random goofy old men.

Most of the VHF radios that went in vehicles can hit the 6 meter ham band. We use our radios in 6m all the time for convoys as well as at events usually running 51 MHz. VHF **generally** doesn’t skip unless you manage to catch the right atmospheric conditions, known as Sporatic-E or E-skip...

AH! Now that's what I was hoping to hear! Once I get the two semi-complete units running I'll see about a swap on the MEP-015. That would actually be much more period correct for what we are doing anyhow. I probably "should" be using all gas gens but the lure of switching everything in...
