At one point a lot of husband and wife teams got their licenses and
used local repeaters to call each other at lunchtime or on the way home
from work in order to exchange info on say stopping off at the grocery
store to pick up something for dinner, or at the hardware store to pick
up something.

Hence the name "Honey, do this, Honey, do that. 8^)

We used to call that "The Kenny and Michelle Show" in honor of the
stars of that on our repeater... g

Yeah, we have a few of those yet locally. One is an elderly couple
staying in touch with their son as he does his rounds. Its actually
great that the old folk can do that.

Sometimes it's good for a few chuckles, as when the mother calls the
son to ask his location, and he answers "I'm in the driveway, Ma! Bless
'em all.
