@wulfric@beige.party I went hard to get my Technician & General Ham license last year. And to be honest, I've been dormant since.
I live in a radio black hole for UHF/VHF, I can't reliably get to repeaters and I'm not financially able to go buy HF gear and antennas to be able to get above the hill line enough.
I could do EchoLink but I just don't have the time to watch YT videos and learn this program to do Ham over the PC.
GMRS is fine, about a mile or two range has been my experience.

@chgowiz@dice.camp That sounds like what I expected when I started looking. I'm on top of the hill here but there isn't much of anything in the area as far as repeaters. I have a habit of collecting "that might be useful" stuff that I never keep up with.

@chgowiz@dice.camp @wulfric@beige.party you’ve looked on that repeater website to be sure that there’s not a repeater anywhere near you? I’m lucky enough here in Georgia to live in an area where it’s pretty active.
