Episode description

So, GMRS - General Mobile Radio Service - is a thing. It’s becoming a big thing, or so it seems. And at least around Gary’s area (Charlotte NC), a lot of hams also have GMRS licenses. And with the fee dropped from $70 to $35, likely a lot more will (GMRS users are happy about $35, while many hams are grousing about it).

And it turns out that your hosts already had GMRS licenses. David is WROT234. Jim is WQWB533. Gary is WRPG652. Those call signs just trip off the tongue, don’t they.

Well, we explain a lot about what GMRS is. We even have a few viewers join us on Zoom. That worked, so we’ll be doing more of it. Watch for Zoom links in the YouTube and Facebook announcements, and be a star.
