There are big repeaters all over your area, sign up for an account and you can reach out to the owners and ask permission to use.

Welcome to MyGMRS.   Please visit our main repeater listing and registration website located here:

 

http://www.mygmrs.com/browse

 

Once your registration is processed you can then register here at the Forum as a member.  Please note that our main MyGMRS webpage database is dependent upon the FCC promptly posting license updates through the Universal Licensing System and delays have been common lately while our software has to 'wait' for the FCC info to become published.

 

We also 'suggest' that all MyGMRS members and potential members read our forum disclaimer located here:

Will you get permission by email? The request for Permission was sent a couple of days ago. How long does it take and what information is on it. The repeater tone? Thx.

Welcome to GMRS in NYC... Depends on which machines you look at and who runs them as to when you'll get a message back.
