paul13 Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 I wanted to thank the GMRS community for being there . At 70 I was diagnosed with Advanced Prostrate Cancer and during a 42 times stretch of Radiation the last two months you guys broke the monotony of it all. Been into Hand Helds for awhile on the Border but just as a means of communication between guys who were working or hunting with me but during the Radiation stuck with the you sleep or your on the couch I started playing with the radio and found the Tucson reapeater which living by myself was a real God send and a little entertainment since TV sucks That led to getting my license,and starting to read,watching YouTube to get on the net. Now I got a base station and a radio for my jeep to install. Want to say Thanks again for the new hobby and being there even though you didn't know it Paul R Hereford AZ WRKZ773 Extreme, mbrun, H8SPVMT and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
