You can put a group in charge of GMRS and nothing will change. The same goes for amateur radio with ARRL. Everyone now has rights and not one person has a responsibility to anyone else.

If the ARRL is a 'valid advocacy' body, then no thanks. They watch out for contesters, but little else. GMRS is not amateur radio and it isn't CB without static. It isn't to sit on a machine all day and control it for personal means or to rag chew about your 1963 Ford from high school. It has...

In a large enough emergency, no one is going to hear your plea on your Baoflung HT or your Motorola APX-Next. No one will be coming to your rescue. Learn to save yourself.

Certain scenarios effectively forbid HF/VHF/UHF use during the incident. Other scenarios will allow short term use, but as time wore on, the power demands would deplete the radios. Lots of people believe gear will always save them, when education and or training would be be more advantageous.

The Kaiser is bombing the New Jersey shore!

Synchronous rotation does not count here.

Based on the members I've seen and dealt with... after paying for programming, there isn't likely to be cash for an alignment check/tune-up. They are often over-extended on Level IV rifle plates for their armor and LED lightbars aren't cheap either. Better hope Glock doesn't release a new pistol...

The White House has directed NASA to develop a standardized LTC [Lunar Time Coordinated] and subsequent Time Zones for the Moon. How might such a standard affect Amateurs who engage in E-M-E radio transmissions? Private enterprise? Government? How does a celestial body that effectively does not...
