Gmrs

In my area, South Florida, GMRS is where CBers and hams looking for a more amicable radio environment are finding common ground and coming together.

The South Dade GMRS club in Miami and the Conch Auxiliary Radio Emergency Services (CARES) here in the Keys have joined forces to link a Miami GMRS repeater network with a Florida Keys repeater network. About 1/3 of the total number of planned repeaters are up and running and you can already talk on this system from Ft. Lauderdale to just outside of Key West.

At least down here, GMRS is where dedicated good people who love the hobby are working together to make positive things happen.

These gmrs guys kill me. They were on the linked repeater system and guy 1 told guy 2 that he was coming in loud and clear. Guy 2 said “yeah we must be having real good conditions with the rain that came through”. He sounded serious.

Uh it’s a repeater man

It makes as much sense as saying, This is W4KVW for id purposes. For what other reason would you give your call sign other than for id purposes? LOL {:>)

But the FCC does not require anyone to say,FOR ID PURPOSES after saying their call sign.

I’m not interested in impressing any of Mr. Potato Heads friends or Mr.Potato Head either.
