Hi Ken
You are absolutly right. A decent set of GMRS radios would cover a couple
buildings in the BTC campus with zero problem.
Where ham radio would shine is to show people an accessable technology with
eminent open source software and hardware hackability.
For FRS to work reliably between buildings is iffy. GMRS will, but
requires a license that costs $85. Licenses haven't been issued to
non-individuals since 1987. In other words, we can't have the FCC issue a
license to BLUG. We can use ham radio for LFNW because it's a non-profit
operating and the aforementioned publicity for the hobby. For about the
cost of a GMRS radio and license, you can get a ham radio and license.
