Come on guys ... give it a try .. once you taste HAM .. you'll never go back to being a vege (CB radio, Walkie Talkie (FRS) etc). There is a learning curb but it's not that big of a deal. Just like Jeep world, there is TONs of info on the web. I'd be MORE than happy to share what I know about it and why I think everyone should have it. You can play/learn as you go along. How about I demo it on our next meet? Ohh and the best part ... handhelds are cheaper than CB!
Do you want completely free vehicle/person tracking on your command? APRS is your answer ... but you can't get it till you have a HAM license which is super easy!
Do you want a backup system when cell phones fail? Guess what? HAM Radio! 9/11 is the proof!
Do you want to keep in touch with your family members where even Verizon can't get to? HAM Radio!
Do it!!
I am not going to stop bothering you till you at least start looking into it seriously!
