Over use of call sign announcements on GMRS

That's certainly one definition of "business"

To the best of my knowledge, there is no way to do that.

Strange isn't it, that the radio rule-making enforcers would mingle an unlicensed and a licensed service with no way to distinguish the unlicensed users.

Calling them "enforcers" is a bit of a stretch, dont you think?  I mean, considering that for these rules they do near zero enforcement...

I wish it was that boring around here.  We have the most uncouth people on the radio around here.  One lady got on the repeater (not simplex) to tell her husband to go break-up the kids from fighting because she was taking a crap and couldn't get off the commode.  

I am so glad that people don’t act like that here in Montana.

It's not fun... and I shared a significantly cleaned-up version of what was actually said.

What I hear is that one guy is going into town to get parts for the tractor or a load of feed. He and his friend get together on 70 cm DMR for maybe 10 minutes every day just to check in with each other. It’s nice to hear.

It kind of seems to me like so many social GMRS users are eager to shout out their call signs on the air. 
 

You mean like the cool people that sign-off with "KMG365"?

I'm sure the Danish Pebbles guy won't get it! He probably doesn't watch reruns on ME TV

I drove by the Station in Carson everyday I was working that was used as Station 51 in both the pilot and the weekly episodes. I don't remember the actual Station Number.

You Lucky Dog

It's Station 127

I wanted to go to LA for the 50th Anniversary in January, 2022, but they postponed it, when I found out the rescheduled date, it was already sold out :(

I actually have been in that station a few times.

I sign on and off with my callsign and use it frequently throughout the conversation. I don't know why people refuse to believe my callsign is BR549.
