Re: Ardbag 2016
Hello,
Looking for a good advice - would you recommend getting a CB radio with all its pros/cons or go for a VHF/UHF?
I like the VHF/UHF range, sound quality and size of the handheld but not sure how many actually use these here in Canada when going out with a group like the coming weekend?
Thanks,
Johan

Re: Ardbag 2016
9am at Black Lake, got it. Am tentatively planning on going up Friday night and camping so hoping some others go.
Johan, I run a CB radio and have had great success with it. You can buy portable CB radios as well that work good.

Re: Ardbag 2016
We will meet at Black Lake, same as last last year.
CB radio is the only way to go. I also carry some FRS radios in case my or someone's CB fails. Have seen antennas knocked off or bent.

Re: Ardbag 2016
Thanks guys, bought a CB
We're bringing the kids (1 & 2,5yrs) so hoping for decent weather especially for the camping but I'm taking Friday off so we'll do a small tour on the way up so worst case we'll stay in a hotel/motel as close as possible supposing there is no Hilton in Ardbeg!
Have a nice day!

Re: Ardbag 2016
Hey Johan and all,
Don't expect too much in the way of a campsite. We are talking primitive crown land camping. No water, no washrooms. You need to bring everything because there is nothing. Just saying it is a far shot from the Hilton if you know what I mean☺
If you decide to hotel there should be something in Parry Sound. You would be about 45 min to an hour from Black Lake.
