Exactly. I know the "rules" but it seemed that even the CG was asking for the

Many seem to think that a quick conversation on 16 is OK because it
won't disturb the other 3000 people monitoring.

Hmmmm. All of my friend are using those little family FRS radios. I have two

falls overboard...no big deal. I hear some of the better units get really
substancial range
