Thanks to BorregoWrangler for pointing me to this site. I am a fairly new, and inexperienced HAM operator (Technician). I have a Jeep and a Land Rover, and both see frequent off road use. I am trail leader with SCLR.org, and attempt to use what I dub the infernal machine, my Icom 208H 2m/440 radio. I shoot a lot of photos and post them here:
http://nwoods.smugmug.com/, and maintain a blog that is primarily related to Land Rover LR3 related activities and tips and so forth:
www.nextstepdesigns.com
I frequent MyJeepRocks and Expedition Portal forums, and various others.

Welcome aboard! We don't have a whole lotta Land Rovers on-board, so it's good to have you!

Thanks guys! There's a ton of stuff to read on this forum, and it will take me a while to sort it out and read through. I just thought it was very cool to see a HAM-centric off road group in my local area. I also thought it was interesting to see so much of Tom Severin's writings posted about. He was my TreadLightly trainer and is a very cool guy.
I "met" BorregoWrangler" online at MJR's forum. Have not met him in person, but hope to, as I would like to explore more of the AB area soon.

Good to see ya here! Be sure to keep an eye on any upcoming runs. There's quite a few folks here who enjoy heading on out to Anza Borrego on regular basis. I'll be out in Ocotillo Wells OHV Area from the 17-19th this month. If you'd like to hit up any AB trails then just let me know.

We are also fortunate to have Tom as a member of the Board of Directors for OAUSA, so his influence and expertise can be found throughout the site...
