It's great to elevate ham radios' utility and publicize its use. However, isn't this a little over-kill.? I mean, a little FRS/GMRS or CB would do the job, not require a license and be cheap enough for a lot more of the LFNW volunteers to obtain and use.

Has anyone been doing any thinking along these lines? I encourage everyone with even a smidgen of interest in radio to get their license. -- David Griffith <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] _______________________________________________ Fest-list mailing list <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] <http://lists.blug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fest-list> http://lists.blug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fest-list
