It's been amazing how busy the GMRS repeaters in Richmond, VA have been. I suppose it's the holidays and people just have time on their hands. I've spoken to new stations and users with new equipment. I just figured out that mygmrs.com has an app on Google play. I've uploaded and logged on, marked the seven local repeaters as favorites. I speak to many cross-service operators, many whom I know on the amateur bands. Great places to keep in touch when the local MRA or RATS UHF is busy. Let me encourage you, if you've decided to delay taking the first test for the technician amateur radio license, get your GMRS license for you and your family. It's worth the $3.50 yearly investment. $35 up front for ten years. Cheap Chinese radios for starters. I use Motorola mostly. Sometimes I use the other gear.

myGMRS.com is a General Mobile Radio Service community where users can search for and submit repeaters in their area.

This is just mean. I mean, innocent at first, without the understanding that many have access to certain frequencies at any given time. I'm listening just east of downtown, likely in the Shockoe Valley and Churchill area. This is focused solely on the FRS channel three. There are immigrant employees using the channel to coordinate at a local construction site. Then someone had the bright idea to tx a local broadcast station. It's fine to bring a broadcast receiver on site for your listening pleasure but, to retransmit without expressed, written permission of copyright content is forbidden. Also, music on FRS/GMRS is also forbidden. If you must dj, either find a job or apply for part 15 equipment and do so yourself in the broadcast spectrum. Let the rest of us communicate amongst ourselves. Or, just go home.

About 09:30, 04/17/24 here in Shockoe Valley I can receive strongly music and ads, in English and Spanish. Quite annoying, regarding ch three is used by vari...

Xfinity is experiencing a very localized outage in my area at the moment. Not sure how long today's delay is expected. I may not be easily reached here throughout today. Please be patient. Thank you!

Due to the adoption of "woke in nature", I have decided to unsubscribe from the slack app.

Talking to the wife while she was in the nearby hospital, via direct, not on a repeater.

Yes, the YL is in the hospital. We figured it's better to communicate via UHF, on GMRS ch16, which should be 462.575mhz, direct not on a repeater pair. Appar...

There's nothing like being prepared. If you have them, charge your radios batteries. If you can, make sure your antenna matches your base station meaning, it operates as efficient as possible. Keep flashlight batteries handy and charge your smart devices.
