Operation Talladega Signal - March 28, 2026
- 09 March 2026

Big Oak Hunt Camp, Talladega National Forest
Make plans now to come out and join us for a what is shaping up to be a very interesting day. We are calling this “Operation Talladega Signal.” This will be a simulation of a lost/injured hiker on the Pinhoti Trail. WGARS has obtained the blessing of both the US Forest Service and the Cleburne County Sheriffs department and will be setting up an incident command at the Big Oak Hunt Camp. From this location teams will be assigned for triangulation and extraction. The plan is to use 2 meters for communicating among ourselves, but we will need rigs capable of listening on the UHF FRS frequencies for the hiker.
More information will be made available at the 3/10/2026 meeting of the WGARS. Anyone who could like to participate, regardless if you are a member of WGARS or a licensed ham are welcome to participate.
The plan can be viewed HERE.
