As much as we love sitting in front of computers, testing equipment, and playing with our Ham Radios at home, sometimes, we need to get out and do some… err… “field testing”. So come along on our adventures through the Rubicon, in the snow, hiking, geocaching, and our general shenanigans. Follow us as we get lost, and use our toys and ham radios to get un-lost again. And then come with us as we do it over and over again! Check out the adventures below to see how much of a good time you could be having in the great outdoors!
