    You saw the announcement ...
    “HAM RADIO PAIRS WITH FRS FOR MARYLAND EMCOMM” https://buff.ly/3xKXFPt ...

    The idea, as noted above, is not new. Originally fostered by the "National
    SOS Radio Network", the idea is that, like Neighborhood Watch, hams are involved in their community.

    The toy walkie talkies that come alive at Christmas when parents give them
    as gifts to their children can be a handy tool for a ham ... really any
    ham ... in any neighborhood.
    It's a good idea. Scanning neighborhoods will have mixed results.
    The other good idea is for ham clubs to sponsor a simplex channel to use locally as a chat channel to attract new potential hams. Some hams are
    even sponsoring General Mobile Radio System repeaters.
    The license for GMRS is $35 for ten years. Do you have one? Place your comments in chat.
