WSJM352

Hi Jason, and welcome to this group and GMRS. I am Ronn Foster, and I'm new to the hobby myself. I set this group up because I know there are more GMRS'rs in Michiana, and it would be great to have a place to share ideas and ask questions. I'll try to answer any questions you may have. Welcome!

I'm Ronn Foster, and my GMRS call sign is WSJM352. I’m excited to be a part of this incredible community of GMRS enthusiasts right here in the Michiana region! A little about me: Location: Elkhart, Indiana Gear: Currently running a hodgepodge of radios (just getting into this hobby) and loving the range and clarity I get in this area. Why GMRS? I’ve always been drawn to communication technologies that bring people together, and GMRS provides the perfect mix of local connectivity and the potential for longer-distance comms. I’m especially passionate about community service and emergency preparedness, and GMRS is a key part of that for me. What I’m looking forward to: Connecting with local operators Sharing tips and tricks about GMRS Learning from everyone’s experiences and knowledge Organizing local nets, meetups, and events Helping grow the Michiana GMRS network! I'm always open to chatting and learning from others—whether it's about technical setups, GMRS events, or just to swap stories about the bands. Feel free to reach out or leave a reply if you're nearby, and let’s make some waves on the airwaves! Looking forward to connecting with you all! Ronn Foster - WSJM352
