<div dir="ltr">I have a ham license but never used it. My wife may not want to spend the time to get one. The goal is emergency comms like "help, broken leg" sort of stuff. Terrain is most of the US eastern seaboard into W Va and across to Texas. She does photography as she travels. The ideal would be to communicate with me but the reality may just be emergency services. </div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Aug 2, 2017 at 12:32 PM, Bryan L.
