Be just like the olde days when the "relay" meant something in ARRL.
They will need every one of those "millions" of FRS radio owners.

When a kid did you ever play the party game 'pass it on'? You know where
you whisper something in someone's ear, they then pass it on to the next
person, then the next, then the next, ect. By the time it gets to the
last person it isn't anything like the orginal message. You don't need
that when you are trying to get critical information to a destination.

So the "Relay" in ARRL is a useless construct?

Wunnerful in theory, useless in practice?


No it simply means that without a structured format, message training,
means of checking the message (such as word count), etc that the system
breaks down. The formal message handling systems have these. The FRS
system does not.

Exactly correct Dee. Here is something I made up years ago.

"It takes two things to communicate, an operator at both ends"

A slight addition would be "trained operator"

No No Markey....not threats. I am trying to HELP you. I am warning you
that there are folks out here on USENET that are, by normal standards,
considered CRAZY. Folks that don't like your insults, folks that wouldn't
think twice to hunt you down and disembowel you, for what you are or claim
to be.

You see Markey, you have put YOURSELF in the unenviable position of being a
TARGET. So please consider this a warning meant in a "good way" to be
careful. It would be a shame to find out that some USENET junkie cut you up
like a Christmas Goose.

Have a good evening buddy.
