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
Is there a national GMRS ‘Travel Channel’? If not, could there be?
Live discussion, Sunday November 2, 3 PM Eastern. Join via Zoom to be part of the discussion. Here’s the Zoom link. Of course, there will be a waiting room. It’ll help to put your GMRS and/or ham call sign along with your Name. We’ll ‘interview’ you in the waiting room, and bring a few people into the show. Log into the Zoom about a half hour early, about 2:30 pm Eastern to get in line.
Topic: GMRS Travel Channel? HamRadioNow
Time: Nov 2, 2025 02:30 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)
