King Of The Hammers 2014

[jeeperjohn]

Ok at the moment doesn't look like the Air Force is going to let me take the leave. Sometimes I hate my job.

Too bad you can't just call in sick!

well... team cars are allowed, but you need a parking pass. It's all supposed to suppress the thieves so they can't do drive bys. I had a shovel and ax stolen off of my tire carrier last year right out of 4643s pit. Just a fair warning.... Lock up your sh!t.

My buddy actually slept one night in 4643's tent for that very reason

lol, you don't know how much better I sleep at night knowing somebody is chilling next to our toolboxes and spare parts.

Funny you should say that... That's what I did last year.

Good luck to all this year!

Just saw that cracker is giving the backdoor challenge a shot! Sounds like a fun deal!

Not making the 2500 miles trip out this year, be watching from home as much as possible.

Is he playing pitcher or catcher?

What kind of race radios is everyone using?

 

[Redxj5150]

Most are modified VHF. Many of us have Yaesu Ft2800's or 2900's, or Baofeng UV-5 handhelds. Frequencies range around 150.000-154.000. I can't find my cheat sheet from last year with all the important frequencies on it.

Guess he's going to need to hurry up and learn how to drive


Good luck to him and the 4643 as well!!

Which one has the most value? I'm looking for a cheapish handheld

For under $40 the Baofeng is pretty good. I don't have any experience with any other handheld. The Yeasu I own is not a handheld.

X2 on the Baofeng. I bought 2 of them and tons of batteries and accessories for cheap and they seem to perform great. Also the battery packs hold up a long time before they need recharging. Make sure you get the programming cable, it's cheap and makes programming a lot easier. A few members here do have the program ready for the most popular frequencies used .

 

[NorCalChris]

Headed out in a couple hrs. See you guys there!

 

[FiveNdime]

Thanks for letting me pit crew for you guys on race day. It was a pleasure to support the SoCal Chapter from the Northwest Chapter! Wish I got to see you finish but I had to go be with my race teams (689 and 687) and prep for Fridays race. Good luck in future racing and hope to see you at more races!
