WSJM352

Glad to have you here! I usually hang out on the Osceola repeater. WSJM352

Great to have you in the group, Ben. Many of us are new as well. As we grow I would like to set up some meet and greets. This has been a great hobby for me and glad to be part of it.

Great to have you here. I run a Tidradio H3 at the house with a Yagi antenna about 30 feet up. When outside, I use a Nagoya 771-G Both work very well. See you on the repeaters.

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
