HRN 552: GMRS Travel Channel? And other stuff

HRN 552: GMRS Travel Channel? And other stuff

Is there a GMRS ‘Travel Chnnel’ – one channel to monitor and fiund other GMRS operaors out there on the road? Something like 146.52 on ham radio?

Gary K4AAQ says ‘no’ in his QLOG essay, but he says ‘there could be’, and recommends Channel 20. Maybe you have a different idea?

We’re inviting viewers to join the discussion on Zoom. Follow the link and line up in the waiting room. Add your Name and ham or GMRS call sign to your ‘name’ option. We’ll invote several (being optomistic that there will even BE ‘several’ of you) from the waiting room to join us on the show. We’ll also keep an eye on the YouTube chat.

Here’s the Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86124415559?pwd=aw0FbrWl5xyUmNIQllKPQzmpYfqdn4.1
