I'm thinking about brining my GMRS radio to Germany, assuming there is anything to hear. I'll stay away from the PTT button, so there are no licensing issues. Thoughts?

Any Tips For Someone Thinking of Getting A H.A.M. License?
GreggInFL replied to OffRoaderX's topic in Amateur Radio (Ham)
Question (which may have been addressed in the previous pages, but I'm too lazy to check): Must one take the tech exam first? What if one wants to go straight to the general? Is that a no-can-do, or a sure-why-not? Okay, three questions total. -
Trees are a big issue around here. I use that same repeater but come at it from the east, so there is little development and, being Florida, no mountains – just trees, trees, trees. If you can get past them you're golden. Any height is worth finding. I recently hung a UV-5R (rubber ducky antenna) out the car window from five miles east and was able to hit Orlando 700 while on a slight rise.
