Ek sou graag wou saamgaan.
Ek is egter baie bekommerd oor die herwin voertuig.
Jy kan nie n 3kg aartappel uitgrou met n 500gram grafie nie.

Die "herwinnigns voertuig" was bietjie "tong in die kies"....

Communications what are we going to use?
I have a 12Mhz and VHF. We may need a common channel programming if we go VHF.

I have Bosvark UHF
It works well enough.
Stations are public though.

With proper arial in car I believe soem have picked up at 20km.
Else i guess a few km. But most of its use to me is when driving in convoy. So range is less important to me.

Has anyone contacted Ramabanta Lodge (I presume we overnight at the lodge) for accommodation yet?
