[QCWA] National SOS Radio Network

[Howard Cunningham]

 FRS Family Radio Service...  

This is what those little radios that you see families, groups, etc using
that you see for sale at Radio Shack, office supply stores, Sears, truck
stops, etc that start at about $5 USD and go up.

I also don't know what the MRT bulletin is and the nationalsos website link
was in the prior email.

I don't believe I'm either blind or deaf, but I have never heard of the MRT
Bulletin, the National SOS Network, or the 'FRS'. And I suspect a lot of
other hams haven't heard of them either.

Would someone please enlighten us?
