    Let Talk about Ham Radio.
    Oct 30 2026
    What makes ham radio worth the jump for off-roaders and overlanders who already rely on GMRS?

    In this live session, we sit down with the panel to break down talking points for our upcoming MOORE Expo presentation: "Why Ham Radio for Overlanders?" We compare GMRS vs. Amateur Radio on the trail, cover real-world emergency communication, dive into HF and NVIS for rugged terrain, and discuss APRS tracking, weather nets, and Parks on the Air (POTA).

    Drop your thoughts in the comments: What convinced you to pick up ham radio for the trail, or what's holding you back?

    Social Hangout: Let's Talk Ham Radio Gear & Travel Part2
    Oct 23 2026
    We’re back! After a short hiatus, Frank (KG5AHJ) and co-host Paul dive into all things traveling and mobile operating with amateur radio. Fresh off a road trip from Corpus Christi—touring the radio spaces on the USS Lexington and playing radio out near Mustang Island—we break down the reality of staying connected on the highway. Why is 146.520 simplex so quiet between cities? What are the best mobile solutions—from Allstar nodes and Meshtastic setups to digital modes like DMR, D-STAR, and newer tools like QSO1? Plus, the crew jumps in to talk vehicle installs, dash mounts (Bulletpoint, 67 Designs, Tacform), vehicle grounding, and plans for the next mobile rig setup!
