Nope, they dropped the morse code requirement for both the tech and general classes. You still need it for the extra class though.

AE doesn't require code proficiency either.

Well, It is more likely to take about 8 hours setup, and 12 hours breaking down
I wish you all the luck ..

The short version is that if it is part of org related shipping container program it will get dropped at an assigned city street location where a camp would camp. If it were going to be dropped in open playa that location would need to be assigned and marked. There is no way HEAT is going to just dr...

with "Vault Of Heaven" as the theme, the streets were named for the planets and order of their distance from the sun. The planet names and clock face designations were used in '99 as well (Wheel of Time). https://z9hbb3mwou383x1930ve0ugl-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/wheel_time...

They do it frequently.

For the ticket, Im thinking because there are ins and outs for BRC, I could buy somebody's unnamed legitimate ticket stub, an unused vehicle pass; go to the gate and pay the $20 re entry fee to enter BRC mid-week, as I understand the rules (rules might be different or changed). Yeah - no! You don't...

Spoiler alert

It ends with a case of dehydration where the person's water bottle did not have detailed instructions as to how to use the damn thing and drink water.

Seems like they did a better job last year, only took like 45 mins... I would think the greeters giving out the event guides could just as easily have tix available... scan their ID then hand them a ticket... Except the greeters giving out the event guides are after you pass through the gate, will ...

Hooray. That winny would be pretty shaken by the end had you decided to go that route,

mrchiff

I've noticed this too, for some reason everybody thinks they need a camp to camp. I can't answer as to why but I will support the fact that it seems to be an ever increasing need for some folks.

mrchiff

Unless you have 2 spares, skip Jungo Road.
Hell, even if you have 2 spares, in anything other than a 4x4 I would avoid it. It may be shorter mileage wise but it won't be shorter time wise.

mrchiff

The simple method is to just point your door/entry towards the sunrise.

ESD, and some others monitor MURS 4 (art) and 5 (ESD/911), but it is not used for Ranger or other BM operations.

I don't know where we are on the skip cycle, I'd have to look it up. If it's low then CB is a great way to go on the playa. Cheap, readily available, simple, and no license. Wow... it never occurred to me before (I've been out of radio so long) but I bet you could DX like crazy from the playa. High...

It won't save you and will probably make things worse. You should stop thinking already.

mrchiff

You have way too much free time on your hands.

mrchiff

I think the phrase is the "smell test". As much as one may want to play semantics arguing allowed entry, there are as many options to deny entry. Do the scenarios presented pass the smell test? The answer to that would most likely determine the outcome. Trying to prank the pranksters can lead to int...

I tried calling on MURS 5 once (during the early Thursday dust storm) and didn't hear any response; I also tried calling Art Support on MURS 4 while we were setting up at the Midway and got nothing back. Perhaps the BMORG should post what tones and whatnot to set one's radio to, as the Dakota MURS ...

Thursday.

mrchiff

It's a crap shoot. There is noy way to answer your question. There will be lines. There will be wait times. It's unavoidable for the timeframe you are referencing.
Even if there was a magic time everybody would then aim for that time and then it would be unmagic.

It's raining as of this morning.

Trilobyte - Multiple FAQ's state the gate is open 24/7 after they start, and I not aware they have ever closed except for rain and storms and the like. Would you be able to clarify or confirm one or the other?

mrchiff

What date are you planning to arrive? Is Gate Road as zoo-like as normal access has been described to be? Do they reduce the number of lanes/greeters/etc. so it's just as slow as normal access? It depends on when you are arriving. Are Will-Call hours restricted? Some of the team carpooling with me h...

How exact/strict is the enforcement of the edge where placed camps (or even open camping) meet the roads? If my tent is "inside the line" and I've got a (well lit) guy line outside by an inch or a foot or ten feet, how bad is that? Is the permanence of the obstruction relevant? That is, if all of m...

We were waiting at apex during a gate shift change for over an hour.more like 2. There was no real line at will call and our one will call guy couldn't walk over & get his ticket.
