[Az-Geocaching] Communications...

[listserv@azgeocaching.com]

I'm just glad that somebody noticed that FRS and CB are NOT the same
(not even close frequency wise) before I jumped in to point that out.

Good luck getting your Ham license Scott, it isn't that hard anymore
(Code requirements are much less or none) and it really opens up your
communications options. Dan and I have 2 repeaters at the house, one
with a phone patch and the other with an IRLP (Internet link that
allows linking/talking to any IRLP node and people around the world)
in addition to world-wide comm on HF, local on radios in all cars,
house and handhelds. It's our OTHER addiction!
