    CJ to TJ what to expect

    Decided to get a nice new 2004 (compared to my 60 year old CJ) TJ and just wondering what others who have done similar have experienced. Other than being able to drive on the freeway I'm not expecting a whole lot of difference cept maybe having ac now :)

    Winter Fun Fest comms

    This year we were given a 2m frequency and a cb channel. I never heard a peep on the cb. I was chatting with one of the grass valley fourwheelers and he mentioned they had considered gmrs for club use but ultimately decided to go with ham radio for club use.

    Stubby vhf antenna

    I purchased mostly to use as a cap, this will be my the location of my HF antenna (working on the license and radio) when I'm done. Just wondering if anyone has used one and if its useful for more than just vehicle to vehicle. Maybe I'll plug in an HT when I'm not using the HF rig.

    Water resistant 2m radio

    I have a Yaesu 8800 in my truck and while its a fine radio (small finicky knobs not withstanding) I'd like something a little more water resistant for the Jeep. Dual band preferably. I've been just carrying a handheld in the Jeep and thats fine for trail use but not so much hitting repeaters.

    Winter Fun and CB

    Well my run had a listed cb channel 15, and a listed ham freq, 146.535. Never heard a peep on the cb. All comms were on ham. Simplex. Even if you don't want to take the test its time to pick up a baofeng (or other handheld) just so you can listen. They were even having a license test just before...
