Well I'm not a parochial never been out of Florida person (in fact lived out west for years.)  Its why I said "if you have reception."  My experience in the southeast mountains (where this rally will be) has been that I've usually had decent reception and might work to get audio when tv reception doesn't.

JayRom, we just booked lot 47 so you can cancel lot 33 for us.  Also I did join facebook so I will be able to keep up on happenings a little better.  On the antenna issue we will probably still bring it and hope for the best, thanks to all for your advice  -  dave

Dave & Vicki-   Yes this is posted on the Facebook group which is under R-Pod Owners. Travis is the moderator of that group as well.   In the FB is where I do have haps of the campground and where everyone is staying, so it makes it a little easier to know your neighbors.   The FB group is a great tool.   There is an events tab where all the rally’s are listed. I know not everyone is on FB and one of the fellow podders reminded me the this platform is used by a lot and many that are on here are not on FB.

Florida is flat. RF signals propagate like crazy there. Go to California, or any other western state with mountains, and you will learn the concept of "fringe" reception. Some places I can drive for an hour or two and not get any cell reception at all. TV is even harder.

JayRom, just curious on the map, is this on the facebook group?  I am not a member but would be interested in seeing it if possible.  Also, what does the group go by on facebook in case I decide to join?    thanks  -  dave

Y’all we are 2... yes 2 weeks away from the rally!! All the blue dots are where fellow Podders are. If I missed your spot I’m sorry... please let me know where your at!   Podluck will be on Saturday 9/21 at Shelter #2. We have the shelter the whole day and must be wrapped up by sunset. So we will start setting food up around 4:45 and plan to start feasting at 5pm.   We will have a raffle during the Podluck as well as get a group photo!    

     If you have any questions please let me know. Roman (DH) said we will he showing the movie RV...it will be Friday night at site 56/57 (Chris Christopher Regan’s) as it’s a double site and will allow enough room.   Bring your chairs & movie snacks. I am thinking we’ll start just about 7ish as the sun should be going down close to that.   We have a screen & projector to show it on.

Dave & Vicki - I honestly can’t remember if we picked any stations up or not. However a lot of the main local stations just changed frequencies as of yesterday 9/6.   Where the park is you might pick up some Georgia stations and some South Carolina stations, but with the frequency changes, there is no telling right now.

Most of the stations you might get there will be in Greenville. You can enter an address here: https://www.fcc.gov/media/engineering/dtvmaps

Put in an address and get an approximation of what channels you might get and what direction they are in.
