At the Thunder Over Niagara airshow a few years ago, members of one of
the local CAP groups (I believe it was a cadet wing) were using FRS
radios in the performance of their duties at the show (directing
traffic in parking lots, serving as gophers for the adults from the
composite wing at the info booth, and they also had a hamburger and
hotdog stand going). I asked one of them about it, and he told me they
used those little FRS radios a lot, even trained with them for SAR.
CAP has had a lot of in-fighting about FRS. Since FRS is "civilian" and
we are under NTIA, there's been a lot of arguing about the legalities of it.
"Legalities?!?" :-) For an unlicensed radio service?!?
Maybe nursie suggest using MARS.
No, can't do that, nursie say "MARS IS amateur radio!"
:-)
Nursie made an "ace" of himself again.
Temper fry...
