RE: [RC] Ham Radios - OT? - Jannelle Wilde & Adam Falk
My hubbie and I have Tech licenses (no
Morse Code knowledge necessary). We have had our licenses for over 10 years.
At some of the rides we go to, a local club comes in and brings a repeater and
has been very helpful. However, without a repeater in our very
hilly/mountainous area, they are almost useless. Depends on terrain.
The test is easy to study for. We were
given a disc with hundreds of questions as practice and had a book, too. Now,
all the info is probably on-line.

Hi,
I am wondering if any of you use ham radios either for managing rides
or personally for emergencies or in remote areas. I am just
wondering if learning & using ham radio would be a useful
investment for communication at rides. I'm pretty sure
most people use cell phones or walkie talkies, but just thought I'd check.
